Currently, 3 Days Max has an average viewer rating of 2.7 out of 5 stars with 444 ratings and 98 reviews, 59 of which rate it 3 or more stars.
“Good time with family”
Internet user Imc-3 says to himself:Very pleasantly surprised” and adds: “This sequel is much bigger than “30 Day Max”, more ambitious, more abundant. A French parody of the American action comedy La bande à Fifi.
With great new features that work almost universally in front of mocking audiences. (…) This film is also a good action film with real stunts, good fight choreography, direction, framing, rhythm… generous, finds a new identity, memorable passages, but above all there are many innovative elements.S.”
Maximum 3 days
The opinion is shared by Leah, who writes: “Good spoof action comedy with the Fifi gang as funny as ever. Lots of references to Mission Impossible, James Bond etc. with failed secret agent. Really nice.
The gags are funny, the stunts successful and the film well paced. Also, Tarek BOUDALI has strong likability capital and explains his role well. It is ideal for spending good time with the family and in total ease.”
“A scenario that is too simple”
LouisDCiné, on the other hand, is more divided. he finds the movie”entertainment“but too much”script facilities“.
Yetcha from Club AlloCiné seems to agree: “A big-budget movie, lots of locations, stunts, Mission Impossible and a French James Bond, but it lacks something terribly disturbing for a comedy: fun. There are a few laughs, but nothing else under the sun, and that’s the problem.”

Maximum 3 days
Alice025 from Club AlloCiné gives it a score of 2/5 and regrets that the jokes are too heavy. “Along the same lines as the first, but with more financial means. Aside from a couple or three jokes that made me laugh/smile, the majority of it remains pretty clumsy, combining mediocre gags with the same clichéd characters as the first.
The action scenes and stunts are very cool to watch, reminiscent of many cult films, but it’s not enough to raise the bar. If you liked the first one, you’ll like the second one, so for people like me, go for it.“
Like AV cinema, which regrets its lack of credibility: “A disappointing sequel. The story is really far-fetched and Tarek Budal, who is at least likable, becomes annoyingly stupid like his friends Philippe Lashaw and Julien Arout, while mostly the trio is very effective.
All the actors are uninteresting (surprisingly they are quite famous French actors) and the atmosphere gets boring quickly.

Maximum 3 days
The numerous touches of cult films on the other hand are pretty cool, too bad that too many things spoil certain things after a while, could have been better balanced and the interruptions are well thought out but only give us a brief smile as others are quite heartbreaking.
Not much of a comedy, which is actually more like a weird parody sketch that lasts an hour and a half than a real story, this time there was no room for illusions to be exacerbated. Tarek Budal can do much better, no doubt!”
“no originality”
Ritchy9573, though a fan of Bande à Fifi, is disappointed: “Very bad….the movie is not good, the tears are falling, we are bored. No originality. We don’t believe in anything. We are 2000 km awayAlibi.com or baby sitting.
For a good comedy, you need a good script to believe in, and although I’m a fan of Bande à Fifi, I didn’t buy into it, and neither did my kids, nor did the audience..”
Internet user AZZZO concludes: “Lacheau and Boudali’s films rarely surprise, as they always rely on the same type of gags and systematically delight the audience. For once there is a surprise… but too bad, because this new Tarek Budal is not funny.
It’s poorly written, the jokes are generic, without originality, and you quickly realize that time is running out. It proves once again that talent is not enough and that to make a good movie, whatever the genre, you need a good idea and time to write. Forgetting.”
But the easiest thing is to form your own opinion. 3 Days Max is currently in theaters.
