For the most part, what it aims to do-amuse and uplift-it does wonderfully.

The script is full of brassy lines.
By Sean Axmaker FULL REVIEW

Has nothing new to say, but it has a lot of fun covering the same old territory.
By Connie Ogle FULL REVIEW

As in the other two movies, the plot is a thin cardboard box used to carry an assortment of observational doughnuts--in this case, estrogen-fueled shop talk about race, men, and the politics of looking good.
By J.R. Jones FULL REVIEW

Mildly amusing and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, with much of its humor playing off foolish white folks and gay stereotypes.

A spin-off of a sequel... It doesn't even try to be different, because it assumes the moviegoer wants only the same-ol' and then offers even less.
By Robert Wilonsky FULL REVIEW

The script is painfully underbaked, and director Bille Woodruff (Honey) continues to raise a question: How can someone from a music-video background have absolutely no sense of rhythm, timing or pacing?
