Problem Child (1990)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Dennis Dugan
Cast: John Ritter, Michael Oliver, Gilbert Gottfried, Amy Yasbeck
Time: 81 minutes


 

Unable to have a child the regular way, Ben and Florence Healy decide to adopt Junior, a 7-year old boy who went from home to home before ending up in an orphanage. What the Healy’s do not know is that the boy is a problem child who brings trouble and mischief wherever he goes.

This is a silly, albeit fun, comedy. The characters are over-the-top and clichéd, but the actors portraying them are carrying them farther than that kind of material makes you expect. This came out when I was a teenager, so it brought back memories and it was cool to revisit it so many years later.
