funny, but too raunchy

Now I have no problem with raunchiness, but this was just too much. Other than that, this was a very funny movie and I thought much funnier than the first two. Now that the lines and gags like "Yeah Baby" and "Behave" are well established, the first two movies don't hold up. Myers had to come up with something fresh for this one, and he did. The man is a comic genius and continues to impress, but I agree that he should retire the series.

Also, what's wrong with Michael Caine being in this movie? This is better than Jaws 4. If I were Michael Caine (with my position already established in film history) why not have a little fun? That's what DeNiro is doing. What would you rather be, austere and respected or approachable and respected? There is nothing wrong with not taking yourself too seriously. I enjoy it when serious actors do things like this. Take Christopher Walken in that Fatboy Slim video. hilarious. 7/10 for Goldmember.
