The third film in a franchise that didn’t look initially like a franchise. That’s not necessarily a good thing.

Rating: B- Commentary: The clever imagery of a giraffe so far elevaed over the rest is the lone element that keeps this poster relevant. It’s not the funniest thing they could have done, but it works well enough. |
Rating: B Commentary: I enjoyed the first film, but never got to the theater to watch the second, so I’m not particularly excited to see this third film. There are a handful of amusing moments in the trailer, but not enough to make me think it’s going to compare equitably to the original. |
