Una trappola per Jeffrey

Although still not terrible, this 'The Parent Trap' sequel is nearer to the low level that you'd expect.

'Parent Trap III' begins to show the repetitive nature on the premise, as the film is quite boring throughout given we've already seen a similar concept in the previous two productions. This one attempts to mix things up by having triplets as opposed to two sisters/two friends.

Hayley Mills returns again which is good, even if her characters are forced into the storyline a bit too much. The three Creel sisters Leanna, Monica and Joy all do fine in their respective roles, while Barry Bostwick (Jeffrey) and Patricia Richardson (Cassie) are alright. It's a decent cast, though they don't stop the already noted issues.

I'm surprised they managed to squeeze yet another sequel out of this series later in 1989, yet I'm still willing to give it a chance as, in fairness, none of them are necessarily bad; they're just slowly declining in quality.

I love the Parent Trap movies; however, I think this one is way off the beam. If you've seen Parent Trap II, you know Susan is married to an airline pilot named Brian Casey and they live in Los Angeles.

It seems that in this movie Susan is getting involved with the father who has three daughters who don't like the woman their father plans to marry. They want him to marry Susan.

What I don't understand it that at no time are we apprised of Susan's marital state. Is she divorced or is she a widow? There is a huge jump between Parent Trap II and III. I was very disappointed in this one.

Empty watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend.

While, 3 movies in, Hailey Mills has really grown on me, she's almost shoehorned into this story.

We're dealing with triplets instead of twins, so there is a nod to the first movie more than the 2nd, but instead of doing a shuffle, we do a very short lived version of the 2nd movie for nefarious purposes.

Even the main "trap" isn't great, they sort redo the 2nd movie's plot to target a parent with someone else with the twin switch.

There just isn't much here. There's more than the 2nd, but it's mostly just potential that is ultimately wasted.

This film right now is on tv in the UK. The film is very vague and the whole 'Parent Trap' plot and title used to gain the movie some respect. Hayley Mills characters only begin appearing alot after 45 minutes of the movie and eventually the whole triplets/parent trap gimmick becomes tiresome.

This is a hilarious version of parent trap with a twist. Disney needs to release this movie for purchase! I've been looking everywhere and can't find it and it doesn't seem to be replayed on Disney anymore. It contains the grown-up original girls from the parent trap as well as a set of triplets. Anyone who loved the first parent trap will enjoy this, its a made for TV movie, not as sophisticated or well written as the original, but still fabulous. The premise is 3 triplets return from summers apart to find their dad engaged to of course of course, the wrong woman, sound familiar? I won't tell you anymore for fear of spoiling this comedy, but its the relationships between the girls and the pranks they play that make this an enjoyable unforgettable movie. You should watch it if you can find it!
