Deserves Life in the bargain bin with no chance of purchase
3 Strikes...this puerile comedy about a two-time felon trying to avoid a life sentence was DOA from the opening frame. A screenplay full of stock characters and stock South Central jokes make a poor commentary on the California Justice System. In my three attempts to watch this movie all the way through I wound up turning it off around the thirty-minute mark each time.
To make a story like this work, you have to feel for the main character. Unfortunately he has no good qualities. He makes no efforts to do anything worthwhile. Getting out of jail, he goes back to doing the same things that got him locked up. In his attempts to clear himself he spends most of the movie doing a bunch of unfunny things that are supposed to be funny. I just can't laugh at car chases and shootouts in the inner city when so many young men and women die this way in real life. I can't laugh about a man throwing his life away going in and out of the prison system. To me, that's not a comedy. It's a tragedy. And the attempt to make this situation into comedy produces a movie bad it's criminal. It deserves life in the $5.99 Discount DVD bin right next to Ghost Dad and Nora's Hair Salon with no possibility of purchase.
Funny movie with funny actors
I don't understand why this movie was dissed so hard by the other reviewers. I saw a lot of people write that they were offended by the movie. I guess if you're offended extremely easily, don't see it. But if you like a funny movie to just watch and chill out to check it out. Faizon Love and Brian Hooks were the funniest.
