While I must agree that this third installment is not as fun as the previous two, it is still fun. Studios always want to employ the "son of" vehicle, and it usually falls flat. I have no idea why they keep doing it, but they still do it today.
This time, the usual suspects include mobsters, and while I do enjoy a good Cosa Nostra actioner, that is NOT what this is. Some of the cheek is gone, but for the most part, the humor still reigns supreme, but to a lesser extent. The baby factor kind of drags down the usual lightheartedness of these works, as there is a new concern factor wherein the baby's safety comes into question. Asta's more, rather than less, adorable in this one.
All in all? This was great fun and a delight to watch, if somewhat of a piece of milquetoast next to the first two installments. I find these endearing but if you have a problem with the children being exposed to gratuitous alcohol abuse, you might want to watch this after they've gone to bed.
