By pure accident, young Madison (Ava Torres) and Ethan (Kyle Rangel) come into the possession of a giant egg, and before their very eyes, the egg hatches, to reveal a dinosaur, as wild as it is frightened, but Madison's singing can calm the dinosaur, soon named Spike, down. That's all pretty fine - until Spike escapes. The kids soon run into the original owner of the egg, rather beffuddled elderly Mortimer (Ben Hall), who tells them about a portal to a jurassic world in the forest next to town, and with him and the mayor's (Ryan Francis) daughter Wendy (Sophie Proctor), who's kind of a keeper of the portal, the kids try to find Spike. This shouldn't be too hard as Spike's growth rate is pretty awesome - but there's a problem, there's a film team led by Jeff (Brooks Ryan) and Vanessa (Marila Lombrozo) in town, and they want to make a documentary about local dinosaur sightings. And when they run across Spike, they decide to capture him to make the big bucks. Now Mortimer has them hire him as their guide to take them down the wrong track, but Spike has a mind of his own and makes the wrong track the right track, and eventually the documentarians have catured him and plan on a big event to present Spike to the world in the town's theatre the very next day. Now it's up to Madison, Ethan, Mortimer and Wendy to free Spike and bring him back to his world, and they have the perfect plan - that goes totally wrong from pretty much step one ...

Now this is a film for the whole family, so better not expect anything too eccentric or too artsy or too whatever, as this film pretty much has to be cute and wholesome by genre definition, up to its happy ending. That all said, this doesn't mean Jurassic Pet 3 can't be genuinely funny at the same time, while nods to King Kong will appeal to serious movie lovers. And frankly, the special effects work is pretty good in this one. So in all, not a masterpiece, but if you know what you're getting into beforehands, you'll probably get more out of this one than you expect.
