But, if you’re going to be drinking on St. Patrick’s Day (god bless your little alcoholic heart), steer clear of the green beer. Sure, it’s “fun,” but remember that it’s just cheap beer with green food coloring in it.

The most recent film, which came out in 2019 —almost a decade after the third film — just doesn’t have the same spark and momentum as the others do. That being said, it’s still a fantastic film, one which had to face the challenge of bringing something new and worthwhile to a long-lasting, fan-favorite franchise, and it definitely succeeded....
