I am just so happy to get through this final film never
to watch it again: it is only a
short time away from the twins 5th birthday Samantha Focker [Daisy Tahan] and
Henry Focker [Colin Baiocchi] and between then and now even on the day there is
in one way or another some friction between this cast.
The pacing of this film is just
garbage it roughly goes on for 98 minutes long and the reason why the pacing is
garbage isn't necessarily the pacing fault; let's just say there is a lot of
blame to go around here. It's just a good 80% of this film is infuriating,
because where I have been positive about the cast itself in the previous two
film titles, in this instalment for some stupid reason they have turned it in
on itself to create this implosion, where these characters/performances just
really grind up against one another. Having said that don't get me wrong there
are some scenes or sequences where it shows the chemistry which the previous
two films are/were very much founded on, but then again there are some moments
where it quickly shows this in a positive sense and quickly evaporates leaving
us back with this unpleasant tension and atmosphere. Likewise the comedy
material is mostly painful to watch I am not being lazy, but the only good
things were involving Henry [Colin Baiocchi] and his pet Bearded dragon Arthur
which it isn't a surprise to me that Colin Baiocchi he won an award Young
Artist Awards 2011; Young Artist Award; Best Performance in a Feature Film -
Supporting Young Actor Ten and Under Colin Baiocchi. But when a film that makes
Harvey Keitel as Randy Weir looked poor then you know something is wrong with a
project; full disclosure I must stress he only has a very small role, but it is
still valid point.
Jack vs. Greg; on one hand this is
funny-ish, we get a comedy scene/reference to the legendary Jaws 1975 film
title with the legendary background music. Where briefly we have Greg telling
the kids to get out of the ball pit which he is standing in waiting for Jack to
attack [Jack is under the balls making waves and finally he attacks.] But on
the other hand this is just very sad, because this is one of those situations
which would have been acceptable in the first film was sure, partially
acceptable in the second, but not in this film and yes I know he saw something
online and something which he could and obviously has misconstrued. But because
of the length they have known each other roughly 10 years at this point, he
still wouldn't have taken a moment to ask Greg which let's be honest Greg is afraid
of Jack and just for the record without giving too much away Greg is not Dr.
Bob Banks, but Jack had to check something just to make sure Greg wasn't lying.
Character developments and
performances; minus the positive I have already mentioned these character
developments and performances are poor and mostly unlikeable besides when this
film is going through one of its good moments or longer.
This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; I mean as I have briefly
referenced or shown in this review it does have some good in here and there is
an extra scene alongside the first closing credits this is good fun. But let me
put it this way by using this award Nominee Alliance of Women Film Journalists
2011; EDA Special Mention Award Sequel That Shouldn't Have Been Made. This film
has as you can already see awards accredited to its name once again as you can
already see no they are not all positive. So 3 Winners ASCAP Film and
Television Music Awards 2011; ASCAP Award Stephen Trask. Teen Choice Awards
