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 ****
