User Reviews

Don't understand the bad reviews?

Loved the first 2 films but loved this one even more. The first ones had good humour in them but a lot of this movie I was laughing out loud! It's a movie that's relatable as Marcus and Mike are much older now and so are we as an audience. Great film, lots of action, great story and some really good humour for the older generation.
