Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
stormhawk2018 I really am curious as to why they kept making these horrible films. This is yet another painfully unfunny and strained comedy that has nothing to offer to the viewer. The Problem Child 1 was good, the 2 was okay, but the 3 was execrable. The use of comedy is awful, and the comedic elements aren't good, while they're supposed to be funny. This film offers nothing new to the series; it only offers more awful, unfunny comedy for the viewer. This film was just as bad and it had no redeeming factor whatsoever. This third film of 'Problem Child' saga has a bad script, bad cast and overall bad jokes that really aren't funny. This is a painful film to watch and it just didn't have anything whatsoever to make it funny. This is one of those sequels that should never have been made, and the filmmaking here is sloppy and director Greg Beeman can't make anything funny, as they had done Dennis Dugan or Brian Levant. Add to that a bad script, and you have a pointless, unworthy third film to a franchise that never was funny in the first place. William Katt takes over for John Ritter, who starred as Ben in feature editions; Justin Chapman replaces Michael Oliver as Junior. Repeating his role as Ben's father is Jack Warden. Murph, Junior's bully in the second film, in this one, it seems that they buried the hatchet. Gilbert Gottfried, who played different roles in each of the first two films, here plays a third: a sadistic, inept orthodontist. When laughing-gas-inhaling Nurse Kiki (Kelli Thacker) inadvertently posts an X-ray of a horse's mouth instead of Junior's, Gottfried diagnoses "appaloosa gingivitis nervosa." And that's one of the funnier lines. The acting is either overblown or wooden throughout, with the exception of Katt, who's all but invisible; perky Carolyn Lowery, who plays a psychiatrist and Ben's potential love interest; Gottfried, of course; and Warden, who's wasted. The rest of the actors were just terrible, especially Jennifer Ogletree, whom played the role of Tiffany. It was clear that Jennifer had no previous acting experience, and it really showed up in this only and mediocre entry in the series.Problem Child 3 is a misfire and is one of the worst comedies that you can watch. Avoid this film if you can because there is nothing good here whatsoever. If you're looking for something funny, look elsewhere.
Chris 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.
look_at_me_kimmie Okay, so it's not the best piece of cinematic history, and it's not as good as the other Problem Child films, but i've seen this movie since i was under 10. It's light hearted, funny, and when you're a kid, you don't have the expectations for a film. So, i think kid's would enjoy this movie more than adults. RATING: 10 for funniness, 8 overall, Also recommended are Problem Child (John Ritter), Problem Child 2 (John Ritter, Much funnier than the first and the two children - Junior and Trixie - are hilarious) and The Crazysitter (with Beverly D'Angelo, Bev and the kids make this another funny (not Oscar worthy) film to enjoy and take it easy). So come on, and take a light hearted joke of a PROBLEM CHILD!!
juliafwilliams 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.
