Dale R The threequel to The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes and Now You See Him, Now You Don’t, is a little bit better put together than the first movie in the series. I’m writing this review without having seen the second movie in the series. The narrative is well constructed, but the characters are not really developed in any way. As with the previous movies in the series, the plot is straight forward and silly. I did feel that some scenes and gags were done to death and/or lasted way too long. Some scenes didn’t really add anything to the story. For instance there was a scene with a small dog that took the strength formula and drove off a bigger “bully” dog. While cute, it could have used a call back later in the film to make it more relevant. If you enjoy screwball comedy and the previous films check it out.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The second sequel to The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, after Now You See Him, Now You Don't, The Strongest Man in the World continues the story of Dexter Riley and the students of Medfield College. Dean Higgins (Joe Flynn, who sadly died from drowning after filming was complete; the Youngstown native had also completed voicing over The Rescuers and was a major advocate for more equitable distribution of 온라인카지노추천 residual payments) is about to be fired for financial mismanagement due to the extreme overspending by Prof. Quigley's science class. Higgins fires the professor and threatens to have his entire class kicked out of school, but when he slams the door on the classroom, he knocks Dexter's experiment into another student's vitamin cereal. Then the cow — which cost so much money in the first place — eats the cereal, Dexter drinks the milk and then we have Kurt Russell gaining super strength. This movie had to have been cast by me in a past life. Can we get Eve Arden? How about Phil Silvers? Can Cesar Romero come back? How about Dick Van Patten as the main villain? Director Vincent McEveety was a Disney directing mainstay, making stuff like Gus, Superdad, The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again and Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review r 9 Worst of the trilogy. While 'The Strongest Man in the World' isn't anything atrocious, it most certainly fails to land on the same level as the two Robert Butler directed films. The plot, which is about strength this time, isn't as finely executed or as entertaining. Kurt Russell (Dexter), the star of the last two productions, barely features in this one. I can see why they kept the focus on Higgins (Joe Flynn), as it worked well in 'Now You See Him, Now You Don't', but to switch eyes from Dexter to Schuyler (Michael McGreevey) is a strange choice. Cesar Romero (Arno) and Richard Bakalyan (Cookie) are also too forced into things. There is still minor enjoyment in there, but everything's just a little duller than in the other sequel and 'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes' original. A decent set of films, still. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Its star is a lot of fun but this script is forgettable even for this kind of thing.
