Rush Hour 3(dir. Brett Ratner)
I came into the theater expecting to hate it, but somehow, I came out of the theater liking it. Was it as stupid as I was expecting? No, it was stupider. There's something brilliant about Jackie Chan swinging on a swing and singing a romantic duet with Chris Tucker. A lot of the humor is just so ridiculous that you can't believe it made the final cut. One example: Lee and Carter get in a fight and after the fight, they decide to order the other's favorite food. Carter gets Chinese food and Lee gets fried chicken and sweet potatoe pie. It's not exactly funny because it's so stupid, but you sit there amazed by it. It's stupidity is mesmerizing. This film has two important messages: don't let Roman Polanski give you a rectal examination and French flags make good parachutes.
*** out of ****
