"Klassefesten 3: Dåben" is the third installment of a Danish comedy series about three friends, Andreas, Niels, and Thomas, who are facing mid-life crises. The first Klassefesten was a charming gross-out dude-com, while the second was unremarkable, but still enjoyable for those who wanted more of the same. However, the third film feels like a desperate attempt to cash in on the franchise's success and offers little to no value to its audience.
Nicolaj Kopernikus, Troels Lyby, and Anders W. Berthelsen reprise their roles as Andreas, Niels, and Thomas, respectively, but their performances fail to elevate the lackluster material. Birger Larsen directs the film, but even his previous work, such as the critically acclaimed Danish TV series "The Killing," cannot save the movie from its uninspired plot and subpar humor.
The movie features adult humor, including references to venereal diseases and adult diapers, but these jokes fall flat. The film's visuals are its only redeeming quality. Overall, the film is uneffective and I found myself just waiting for it to be over. While the previous two films were worth watchin (at least for what they were offering), this installment is unlikely to satisfy even the most devoted fans of the series. Save your time and money and skip this one.
