Problem Child 3: Junior in Love

Let me guess, John Ritter was not available or did not want to do the part anymore, so someone searched for another actor to play Ben Healey and William Katt was as close as it got. Sorry, but without John Ritter, the film, albeit a television film, is simply NOT the same. Also, Michael Oliver was at the point of growing up (let's see, by calculations, he was about 11 or 12 when this installment was released) and the television biggies had to hire someone close to Master Oliver's character and presence). William Katt played Ben Healey, John Ritter WAS Ben Healey. Problem Child 3 does not have much in the way of substance.

While I cannot sing the praises of the first two installments, Problem Child and Problem Child 2 will be another great way to remember Mr. Ritter's great art of comedic timing.

I miss you, Mr. Ritter. You left this world too soon.

I cannot believe how stupid this movie is. The first to Problem Childs were okay, but this one was REALLY bad. There was no plot whatsoever, and the dialogue was unbelievably terrible. Ok, so Junior's being driven home by his dad after paralyzing his teacher. His dad says, "There's been a lot of accidents lately," and Junior says, "It's that time of year," and gives a retarded chuckle, then realizes his dad is mad, so he says "So you don't like me anymore"?!!!??!!!!!! That was the lamest thing I had ever seen in a movie. It's obvious the scriptwriter took no time into making the script make sense. I give this movie a 0, but if I could give it less I would say -1,000.

I agree the originals were the best Problem Child and Problem Child 2 with Michael Oliver and John Ritter. After hearing about Problem Child 3. I thought they were going to bring Michael Oliver and John Ritter back together again after he got married in Problem Child 2. Well, after watching Problem 3 with William Katt and Justin Chapman I thought this one was funny and not too bad. Justin Chapman did good as well playing the Junior character and it had a good cast as well and some hilarious scenes.

I love the Problem Child series and all three of them has brought laughs. The problem series are great classic and funny childhood family films. Michael Oliver and Justin Chapman did awesome playing the Junior character. I recommend Problem Child to all families.

No no no. It just doesn't work without the original characters. Avoid.

I didn't think the movie industry would have to sink that low but it did. The only difference with this movie is that people actually know it is a bad movie. I just don't understand society when they can make a movie like this that has such little caliber. The acting is lack for a better word: atrocious. I think even saying it is atrocious is being nice. Junior is now growing up and now hitting puberty is even worse. God, couldn't they have at least came up with a more intriguing plot than the others. I could hear them talking in about this movie's plot. "Instead of having Ben find a woman lets put Junior at puberty and have him try to find a girl but also have Ben still try to find a girl! What a twist to the series, I am a genius!" Nice try, but i don't buy a love plot with a 10 year old.
