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.
