Movie Reviews:

  • r96sk: 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.
  • Kamurai: 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.
