Problem Child 3: Junior in Love

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.

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.

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.

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.
