And I died laughing after reading all the YouTube comments. Thought the first movie was OK, laughed all the way through the 2nd one. They're probably going to be too old to do another movie after this one.

I've seen both movies with my son. Enjoyed them for what they were. I'll see this one too.

I really liked the first few books then stopped reading them for some reason. Thought the first movie was OK; never saw the second.

I didn't like this one as much as the first two. Still brought about a few chuckles, but there were fewer laughs in this installment.

I saw it with my son yesterday. It was pretty good. We both enjoyed it.

I think this one made a mistake coming out in the summer, despite it being season appropriate for the movie. They should have released it during the spring break season like the others.

I thought it was the best out of the 3. Had a few good laughs in it, and I hope they can pump one more out before the cast gets too old. I don't know how I will feel about recasting done.
