Clifford Terry Chicago Tribune ''Parent Trap III'' is an inane, relentlessly perky continuation of the series that began with the 1961 feature film. Sep 26, 2019 Full Review John Stark People Magazine Sequels, they say, are never equals. But this two-hour TV movie is more than enchanting. It's truly funny, with spirited dialogue.

Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review r 9 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Adorable family movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Cuz apparently it's not kewl enough to have twins, we had to make it triplets for this sequel. Nicest thing about it was that Hayley Mills came back. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie too!!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Another classic. This one is with triplets and Hayley Mills returned now as the one of the subjects of the suitors. Absolutely entertaining. A good family movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
