Problem Child 3: Junior in Love

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

This would have to be the worst comedy I've ever seen. The first two were masterpiece's, the first set up Ben Healy and Junior and the second set them up with the perfect partners on both accounts.

Then this came along. Not only did they ruin the original characters by not having the original's play their roles but they also *bleeped* up the story completely by Taking out Trixie, Her mother and Big Ben's new wife.

The jokes are bland and unoriginal compared to the first two and the story is worthlessly crap.

Only watch it if you have a choice between watching it and a documentary on cloth fibers.

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 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.

At the time of writing the movie has a resounding 2.2 score and it justly deserves it. Synopsis: the "Problem Child", Junior, fancies a girl, beats (literally) three rivals only to find that the girl was not worth the fight.

I'm sorry to say, but the movie contains no single shred of humor [1], the story is bad and the acting is wooden. I don't think the focus group of the movie (6-9 years old) might like it, and it's simply not to be recommended.

[1] Unless you think hanging someone to the ceiling ventilator by their braces is funny. Or hitting someone with a tree on their head.
