About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an adult, politically incorrect holiday comedy with nonstop crude jokes and a darker edge; Not for you if you dislike heavy swearing, shocky sex humor, or a retread feel like some sequels.
Pros: raunchy dark humor; some big laughs; returning duo chemistry | Cons: too much profanity; uneven, recycled story; mean-spirited tone
