About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want easy, goofy franchise comedy and don’t mind recycled gags in a new setting; Not for you if you need sharper laughs or originality—try Ernest Goes to Jail or Curse of the Pink Panther instead.
Pros: sunny Miami change; familiar slapstick energy; a few standout gags | Cons: worn-out jokes; thin story beats; missing key cast
