Rush Hour 3 - 1/5

This movie is a tired cash-grab, bringing nothing to the Rush Hour series and not even repeating the formula of the previous two films. Instead it plods along, delivering unfunny jokes, nothing interesting in the way of action, and forgetting to even have an interesting police investigation for the story to fall back on. Worst of all, its portrayal of the grown-up little girl from the first movie was uncomfortable and the ‘joke’ about transit authority cavity searches was distasteful. Don’t waste your time on this one, it’s nothing like its predecessors.

Closest comparison: It’s like The Other Guys by way of The Spy Next Door.

Setting: Detective
Plot: Buddy Cop
Tone: Raunchy Comedy
