(Credit IMDb) In this, the third film, it's the pets that do the talking. The Ubriacco's find themselves the owners of two dogs, Rocks, a street wise cross breed, and Daphne, a spoiled pedigree poodle. James has a new job, pilot to the sexy and lonely Samantha. Mollie's just lost hers and is stuck at home
After such a cute movie that the first produced, we were treated with a mediocre sequel, then a travesty. Who in there right mind thought this was a good idea? Pets talking didn't cut it for me, and obviously plenty of others, when this tanked miserably at the box office. I didn't laugh once during this movie. In fact I felt sorry for solid talent like Travolta and Alley for having to star in such a pathetic mess. One of the most laughable scenes for me, that obviously tried to come off as cutesy was when Travolta's daughter has a crush on Charles Barkley, and has a scene with him on the basketball court. Also, the pets. What was this, Lady and The Tramp?
Performances. John Travolta tries to charm his way through this mess, but can only do so much with the terrible material. He's certainly far from bad, but he's not exactly in the position to do much with his performance. Kirstie Alley also tries her hardest, but much like Travolta, she can only do so much. The kids are OK, as are the voices.
Bottom line. Did they not get the memo on the 2nd one? This was clearly unwarranted, and the results showed that. The 2nd one isn't worth it, neither is this turd. Avoid, stick with the cute 1st.
2 ½ /10
