Piccola peste s'innamora

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.

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

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.

Why make a third Problem Child? The first two movie were alright but what was the purpose of another movie? Junior's voice is even more annoying, Big Ben is in this movie and Junior's father is somehow Big Ben's son.

Forget about this movie, watch the original two instead.

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.
