This movie got a lot of flack as a gender swapped reboot and I think a lot of people just can't see past it, unfortunately. I am typically not one for reboots/remakes or affirmative actionizing existing properties but that wasn't really the intent. It was an appropriate passing of the torch to some seriously funny ladies.
Of course it's not as good as the original but I enjoy it more than 2, though I'd probably score them about the same. This movie got made because the original cast (primarily Murray) couldn't come together and agree on another sequel and then Reitman passed away. Which reminds me that they're doing an official original universe sequel. Was supposed to hit this year but got pushed back due to COVID of course.
