Get Married 3 is an Indonesian romantic comedy directed by Monty Tiwa and released in 2011. A sequel to Hanung Bramantyo's Get Married and Get Married 2, it stars Nirina Zubir and Fedi Nuril as a married couple attempting to raise their triplets while under intense pressure from their family and friends. The film was a commercial success and received favourable reviews in The Jakarta Post and Suara Karya.

Plot

After having triplets, Mae (Nirina Zubir) and Rendy (Fedi Nuril) plan to raise their children without paying heed to input from their family or friends. However, Mae begins feeling a postpartum depression; to help her, Rendy asks her childhood friends Beni (Ringgo Agus Rahman), Guntoro (Dedi Mahendra Desta), and Eman (Aming) to secretly help her. Unaware that Rendy asked them to do this, Mae keeps what they do a secret from Rendy, as she thinks he still wants to raise the triplets without outside input. Mae's parents also begin helping after seeing Beni, Guntoro, and Eman with the babies.

Rendy realises that the babies have begun to prefer Mae's friends and parents to himself, causing him to feel inadequate as a father. To keep Mae's parents away, he invites her grandmother Nyai (Ratna Riantarno) to live with them. She and Mae's father Babe (Jaja Mihardja) do not get along, so her presence is hoped to keep Babe away. This goes too far, however, as Babe leaves in a fit of anger, which causes his wife (Meriam Bellina) to fear that he may divorce her. When Mae discovers that Rendy was the one who brought Nyai over, she tells him to leave.

After Mae realises that Rendy was trying to help her, she calls Beni, Guntoro, and Eman and tasks them with improving Rendy's confidence. They succeed, and Rendy is able to help Babe and Nyai work out their differences. Both Rendy and Mae's families, as well as Beni, Guntoro, and Eman, help raise the triplets.

Style

The film includes several references to current events and the entertainment industry, both in Indonesia and abroad. Bramantyo makes a cameo, and is described by the characters as an extra from Ayat-Ayat Cinta (The Verses of Love; 2007) which he had directed. Another scene shows Eman interrogated by a man who looks like Gayus Tambunan, who was infamously convicted of corruption earlier that year. The children are named Mark, Oprah, and Hanung, after Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Bramantyo.{{sfn|Mubarak 2011, A moving yet funny comedy}}
