St. Pierre's Review:This movie is pretty vanilla.  All three in the series up to this point have been good family fare.  Nothing mind blowingly good but still entertaining at the same time.  The phrase, "If it ain't broke," came to mind while I was watching it.  I think Dog Days lacks a bit of the charm that the first two films had, but that doesn't mean you'll be disappointed.  It's still a solid film and a great chance for a family trip to the theater.
