  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.

  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.
