Meatballs III: Summer Job
Meatballs III: Summer Job is the 1986 third installment in the Meatballs film series, and the first in the series to be rated R.[1] Unlike Meatballs Part II, this film follows Rudy (the main character from the first Meatballs), grown up (played by Patrick Dempsey) and working on a summer job for an angry boss named Mean Gene. Unlike the first two movies, this one is not set at summer camp, but rather at a nearby marina.
