Movieline
It goes down like a canned but genial '80s comedy: Without fanfare or much nutrition; part of your balanced breakfast. - 50
Variety
Kind of a drag when it resorts to frantic slapstick and tired action-comedy tropes, but modestly engaging during stretches that suggest the project would have worked better as an exuberant musical. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Won't likely disappoint fans of men-in-drag comedy but doesn't offer much that's original or funny. - 40
Village Voice
John Whitesell's extraordinarily witless movie operates as a checklist for cultural and racial clichés. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
Lawrence's gender-bending jokes are played out, and his slapstick is wooden and slow. - 25
Orlando Sentinel
A humorless mashup of "White Chicks" and "Glee." - 25
Boston Globe
Fresh or not, creatively merited or not, here it comes: the third installment of Martin Lawrence's big, dopey franchise. - 20
Empire
Whoever demanded a third installment of Lawrence's mirthless mash-up of weak gags and cross-dressing horrors should be imprisoned and forced to watch it on repeat until they repent. Avoid.
