i would say all of them are pretty stupid and crappy, but the first was like the only good one and it didnt have things that were so unrealistic except for like that ct burping that soap. And Jr. running the trailer over with that tractor was also pretty stupid.

I love the first two. The first one was stupid, but hilarious.. the second one was more stupid, and kinda funny.. but the third one was nonsense. William Katt - did you need the paycheck that badly? I remember renting this and feeling sick afterwards. I remember particularly bad special FX where a tree falls on the scout leader's head and buries him.

I'd love to tell you but I'd actually have to see it. I remember when I found out about it a few years ago, it was some holiday and they were showing a Problem Child marathon so I was checking the guide to see what was on next and I was like "WHAT, PROBLEM CHILD 3??" unfortunately like I said it was on a holiday and I had family coming over so I wasn't able to watch it I've wanted to see it but haven't seen it on since.

I didnt like the continuty. What happend to Annie & Trixie? I didnt really like The Greatest American Hero as Little Ben, but Alphalpha I let pass as Junior.

It's OK for kids, but I really just consider the 1st 2 movies the only ones, the 3rd I think was pushing it a bit too far, but it's not a movie I will dissmiss as one of the worst of all time or anything.

I liked Problem Child 1 & 2 but the third movie was atrocious.

What are you saying? THE WHOLE FILM WAS GOOD!

It's not really a sequel, instead it's a rehashing of the first two. It wasn't really all that bad, but the previous two were good and better.

I haven't seen Problem Child 3 myself.However by the information given you're pretty much right.It wouldn't truly be classed as a sequel because with the abscence of Annie and Trixie it really doesn't carry on the story.Instead Ben and Junior are basically in the same position they were in at the beginning of Part 2.Since I have yet to see the film I am not sure if Ben hooks up with somebody this time around or not.

The first one I thought was the best because it really made me laugh. It showed that Junior was a problem child and the second one was funny but not that funny like the first movie.

The third one has Little Ben and Junior starting all over again like the second one did and you would think that they would have included Annie and Trixie as a part of the family annoying the heck out of Big Ben.

Now that would have been great to see you know! I remember when The USA Network use to show Problem Child 1,2, and 3 on the weekends as a marathon but ever since NBC bought out the station they totally altered the programming of The USA Network making it dull and boring to watch anymore.

It has been a long time since I seen the third one but I was not very happy about it when it was on TV though and it did not have John Ritter playing Little Ben or the kid actor playing Junior but I sat through it though.

You have to consider it was a TV made movie for TV and that is why it lacked some of the special things that the first two movies had. It would have been better with the original cast but only two people showed up to do that and that was Jack Warden playing Big Ben and Gilbert Gottfried playing Mr. Peabody from the first two movies.

Gilbert Gottfried at the time was still hosting USA UP ALL NIGHT on Saturday nights which was great! I remember watching all of those B movies, cult classics and all.

The acting pretty much makes the movie. The acting sucked. The actor who played Junior seemed to be trying too hard. Ben Healy... ugh! He's no John Ritter, that's for sure. Makes me want to tear my eyes out looking at this horrible acting. I grew up watching Problem Child- part of that collection of movies that defines my childhood. And this crap, just ruins it and makes 1 & 2 look bad. And like it's been said over and over again... why did they completely disregard the storyline of part 2?

This one is my least favorite out of the 3,but I did not hate it was ok I think the 2.9 rating is a little harsh I would give it a 6/10
