SPOILERS AHEAD
Like its central premise - three desperate drifters out to marry a trio of wealthy sisters weave their way in and out of trouble - Housefull 3 is painfully hackneyed and sickeningly silly.
But for a slapstick comedy that makes no bones about its lowbrow intentions, being trite and stupid is part of the game. It makes mass consumption easy but does nothing to serve the long-term cause of the genre.
Social intelligence and gender sensitivity are the last things one expects from a film like Housefull 3.
Even that allowance cannot explain the sheer imbecility that is sought to be passed off here in the name of comedy.
Directed by Farhad-Sajid, the writing duo known principally for their collaborations with Rohit Shetty, Housefull 3 is loaded with gags that militate against good taste
