Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/medical/electrocution/vomiting/cutting/animal feeding

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 2011 and Winner Razzie Award Razzie Awards 2011 Worst Supporting Actress Jessica Alba For The Killer Inside Me , Machete and Valentine's Day I have no idea why this award is here yes she is in this film as Andi Garcia but that is as far as it goes. 5 Nominees Teen Choice Award Choice Movie: Comedy.
