A Major Disappointment

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Yes, it being the summer is the only thing that remotely ties this film to the first two movies. That being said I did enjoy this movie more than part two, however, you can see by my score of four that I still did not like this movie overall. It had potential and I think its low score here of 2.8 has a lot to do with the fact it tries to pass itself off as a sequel to a set of movies it has nothing remotely in common with. However, that being said overall it was still a poor comedy with the typical teen sex comedy plot...guy wants to lose virginity. The twist, a ghost of a porn star must try and help him. Of course, my question is why does he need help? He is pals with a cute girl who would obviously be more than willing to have sex with him, I mean she is watching a porno with him. Still, if it were that easy there would be no movie. However, that may have been a good thing in this case. Still, it has a couple of good comedy moments and far less groan inducing humor than part two (though it has its fair share as well). So there you have it, we go from family oriented comedy to a teen sex romp in three films.

Howdy! Now this movie is really cool, really fun, and, despite its age, is fun and frenzy for my peers, even to this day! Forget some of the recent movies and shows that are very popular among us college students, and forget some of the older ones like "Animal House," too; "Meatballs III: Summer Job" has it all! But do you know what goes terrific with this movie? The past two "Meatballs" movies, of course? Now, back to what I said about what college kids today like: I'm sure a majority of them may not be familiar with these movies, but since there's some lady action going on here (thus the reason for a 10), I think everyone here should see it...and smile!

Sally Kellerman has been in some good stuff ("Serial", "Foxes", "The Boston Strangler"). Then there's "Meatballs III"...and this stuff ain't good.You see, Kellerman plays a deceased porn star whose only ticket into heaven is to help a hopeless nerd (Dempsey) lose his virginity at summer camp.
This is a Canadian tax write-off (as if you couldn't tell from Waxman in the credits) and it shows from the writing right down to the witless sight gags (dropping trou here is as sophisticated as it gets). Don't get all huffy, now: I like Canadian movies as much as the next guy, but not when they're this stupid.What else can you say about a movie that under-utilizes Shannon Tweed as much as this one does?Nothing good, that's for sure.No stars for this one. Maybe someone should write Jason Voorhees to move to this camp.... Anyone got his address?
jaws!
I think this is a good movie. it's funny, and entertaining. When I first saw this movie back in the late 80s I never thought about the plot I just liked it. Now I do think about the plot. The plot is very silly, but I'm able to look past it. This movie doesn't pack the great one-liners that part 1 had, but it's still funny, and entertaining, and close to being as good as part 1. It is better than 2 and 4. There isn't a doubt in my mind that Meatballs III is for laid-back people only. I give Meatballs III *** out of ****
