Parent Trap III

7/2/2020

Although still not terrible, this <em>'The Parent Trap'</em> sequel is nearer to the low level that you'd expect. <em>'Parent Trap III'</em> 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 anot

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.
