Lamest film of the year, 17 December 2006
1/10
Author: sstofflet from United States

Sad to day -what was once a great idea has become painful.

This should never have hit theaters - a DVD only release would be pushing it. Strained, forced, uninteresting and poorly conceived.

Tim Allen created a great character in the first film - the 2nd was pushing it - this 3rd outing was simply vengeful.

The idea was bad; its execution is worse - to subject movie audiences to this type of tripe should be illegal, if not unconstitutional. (Oops! wait - it is... cruel and unusual punishment....) The best use for the DVD release of this? Christmas ornaments for your tree next year...
