Plot
The movie revolves around 2 bros: Frankie (Charlie Hunnam), who just wants a tranquil and typical life, and his older brother Bruce (Chris O'Dowd), a recuperating alcoholic and drug user aspiring to be a filmmaker. From a young age, Frankie has been the unwilling star of Bruce's humiliating practical jokes. Now older and seemingly more fully grown, Bruce takes his hobby up a notch by tape-recording and submitting Frankie's most mortifying moments online, much to the latter's exasperation.

The plot unfolds following an unfortunate video of Frankie's failed casual sex with Lassie, played by Lizzy Caplan. The video was recorded by Bruce and distributed online. The video brings in the attention of Jack, played by Chris Noth, who utilized to be a romantic partner of Lassie, and who now looks for vengeance for this humiliation.

Characters
We see Charlie Hunnam imposing his character convincingly as a guy continuously embarrassed by his own sibling, while Chris O'Dowd brilliantly delivers the eccentricity and control of Bruce. Lizzy Caplan shines as the complex yet engaging Lassie. Chris Noth fits perfectly in his function as Jack, who radiates a toxic masculinity combined with a self-destructive behavior, whilst Ron Perlman, understood for generally hard-edged functions, takes on an entertaining and uncommon part as a transgender computer hacker, Phyllis, who helps the bros at defining moments in the storyline.

Summary
In essence, "3, 2, 1 ... Frankie Go Boom" is a journey of adult siblings finding out to grapple with their dysfunctional relationship, with a blend of humor, awkwardness, and love. Frankie has invested a lifetime being preyed on by his older sibling's shenanigans, which reach a new level when Bruce starts shooting and sharing Frankie's many awkward minutes unconsciously. The escalation is reached when the video of Frankie's uncomfortable encounter with Lassie discovers its method to her jilted and cruel ex-lover, Jack.

Frankie is entrusted the task of deleting this video from the web with the assistance of Bruce's sober-living roommate, Phyllis. When he falls for Lassie and she discovers the video, the real turmoil starts. Frankie, Lassie, and Bruce are plunged into a spiraling series of comic misadventures including a pig, minimizing the video's exposure, and handling the consequences of Jack.

Conclusion
The ending is rather unpredictable and solved in a quirky, comedy style. It turns from a movie about brothers' competition to a romantic interest when Frankie and Lassie express their feelings for each other. Regardless of a troubled start, the movie ends on an uplifting note, with Frankie and Lassie determining to pursue a relationship, overcoming adversities brought on by misguided intentions and vengeful ex-partners.
