Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Sep 7, 2000
Pros: can't think of any
Cons: brainless jokes
Summary: I found myself in Block Busters looking for a funny movie and remembered one of my clients telling me that 3 Strikes was good (NOT!). It's a typical spoof where a young black male is released from jail fearful of going back gets into various comical ... read more

Pros: None to be found.
Cons: Racist and sexist views, unfunny jokes.
Summary: This is a horrible film that actaully makes DJ Pooh's newest film THE WASH seem like this year's AMERICAN BEAUTY. 3 STRIKES is a film that tries to make jokes out of Califronia's infamous "3 strikes and you out" policy and fails. The film also tries to ... read more

Pros: None.
Cons: Everything.
Summary: This is an absolutely horrible excuse for a comedy that I have ever seen. The basis for 3 STRIKES is that it tries to
make a comedic situation out of the California law regarding criminal punishment. Along the way it pokes fun at such unfunny ... read more

Pros: was there really any?
Cons: bad script,non-use of good talent....need I say more?
Summary: I had the misfortune of seeing this film.While at first I seriously believe this film had a chance, I was in for a very rude awakening. Not only was this a bad movie, this film isn't worth the $1.50 budget it took to make it.
The first ... read more

Pros: N'Bushe Wright was in it. And I'm gonna stick to that.
Cons: The film lacked vision, just sexual content and curse words.
Summary: I'm not gonna front; I only watched this film because N'Bushe Wright (Blade, Dead Presidents, Zebra Head) was in it. N'Bushe plays a hoochy-mamma (not her style, but she was fine) waiting for her boyfriend to get home from jail. The star is Brian Hooks, ... read more

Pros: funny, good plot, good soundtrack
Cons: some bad/stupid humor
Summary: I went to see this movie on the first day it came out and I was hoping it would be a lot better than Next Friday, because that movie was horrible. This movie has a much better plot that you can follow along and understand what is happening. The ... read more

Pros: Hilarious
Cons: Not for everyone
Summary: If you like the movie Friday then you'll love 3 Strikes. The director is DJ pooh who is Red form Friday (he also plays a few parts). E-40 also does a good job acting which I was pretty surprised at. I thought it was hilarious form the beginning. It ... read more

Pros: none
Cons: lewd, frustrating
Summary: I saw this movie on my birthday thinking that it would be funny, a la Next Friday. I was very disapointed. This movie is trash. The plot (though little can be said of it) was juvenile and ill-conceived. I have a little trouble thinking that a fugitive ... read more

Pros: Good actors, trying their best
Cons: Inane script, bad direction, stereotypical characters and fart jokes
Summary: Referring to California's controversial ordinance that requires a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life for anyone convicted of a third felony, the title tells it all - and this inept movie is definitely out.
Written and directed by ... read more

Mar 3, 2000
Pros: It's short.
Cons: Unfunny and insulting.
Summary: It would be much too easy to say that 3 Strikes has three strikes against it. But that comment would also give this lame, lewd, lowest-brow comedy more credit than it deserves, for it has far more than three strikes against it. But for ... read more
