Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
rbn_lrk-1 The Hub channel just had a promo for this movie.This channel airs many 1990's family movies including this.I would give everything to have a channel like this in our country.Anyway, let's see at the movie.A boy full of trouble is ending up in a suburb with a new family.But then it all breaks loose.The boy crashes a mean girls Birthday party.It all ends with a hilarious chase.This is a typical 1990's suburban comedy with a boy and a criminal.Don't come to see any Cannes Awards performances.Just enjoy the silly things in this movie, and this movie are worth a rent on a weekend.On top it's only nearly an hour long.7/10
d_m_s Well, I like it as a kid and for a while thought it might be worth a re-watch so recorded it from TV recently.It's very much a kids film and difficult to appreciate as an adult, although as a nostalgia trip it was OK.John Ritter is great as always.No significant moments worth a mention. Junior wreaks havoc on everything an everyone (proabably everyone remembers the birthday party scene as Junior launches all the present into the swimming pool and causes as much trouble as possible).By no means awful, as it is an easy watch, it is not worth a re-watch.
Chris Problem Child was a funny and hilarious film. This was one of the best funny family films of all time. Michael Oliver did excellent playing as Junior. John Ritter and the whole cast did excellent as well. This movie is fun film for all families to watch, the problem child series is a all- time favorite.A recommendation for all of those who love comedy family films. This one is must watch. A funny adventure film of the 90's.Some people thought this film was terrible, but they were wrong. Problem Child is the best and beyond the funniest family film. Michael Oliver did great as Junior and shined through he was crazy LMAO yet funny throughout the series. Awesome flick!
noimosyni I don't really understand why this movie only got a 4 something review, or was it three? I'm not really sure, but really this movie? Gosh, I remember this when I was small. Every time it would be previewed in the TV, I would sit down and wait for a laugh fest. I remember laughs, wheezes and me holding my stomach while watching this movie. I don't care if it's real or not but then again, exaggerations are okay if they give you a good time. Right? Or am I right?Also, the other thing that I really liked was that this child Jr. was a genius (or not because it's purely fictitious). I love the schemes and the fact that he handled all of it with a maniacal and evil grin was even better. Gosh!I love this kid! And he looks like a little angel with those freckles on his nose! Awwww... Who wouldn't love that kid?
