5/10
Not terrible. Not great like the series. Silly at times. Fun other times. No plot really. But I actually sort of enjoyed it.

The girls minus Jo meet up for a reunion in Peekskill with Mrs. Garrett for Thanksgiving.

Jo wasn't there. I read the actress was shooting her series, 'The Division,' at the time. Apparently, they wrote Jo as a cop now as a wink to the audience, which isn't consistent with the series as she was on the road to being a social worker. Her mini-me kid was there tho, Jaime.

I missed Jo but the chemistry, camaraderie, and warmth of friendship were still there for Blair, Natalie, and Tootie.

Blair at times seemed almost a parody of herself. And since when did Blair not want children? This was not consistent with the series, as she did state clearly that she did indeed want them in the series. Also, her story about Geri wasn't consistent. Blair wasn't afraid that others would associate Geri's condition with her. She was jealous of the attention Geri would get growing up.

Tootie, or Dorothy that she went by in most of the episode looked amazing. Kim Fields looked stunning really. She had such a warmth about her too.

Natalie couldn't decide between two boyfriends. This was essentially the entire so-called plot of the movie. But Nat herself was great.

There was a lot of slapstick, and the boyfriend contest was cringeworthy to watch. But then there were nice scenes with Blair talking to the kids after they were arrested, and later nice scenes with her husband. Tootie had nice scenes with Robert and her daughter. Mrs. Garrett seemed strange to me. I mean I love her but just really oddball here.

I did get a sense that the actresses and the whole cast were having fun. I mean I kind of enjoyed it. I watched it sort of on the side in a mini-player whilst doing some other things online. The sound editing and soundtrack were a big improvement over the previous two movies. I think it depends on your mood and how generous you are feeling when watching this as to whether you're ok with it or not. 5/10.
