Watch Problem Child For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

To be a film with a smart and naughty boy annoying the elders (shot in 1990, the same year as "Home Alone" by Chris Columbus), is an authentic gem, based on the iconic pedigree of some of those involved in the film: John Ritter ("Three's Company", among many other good and funny comedies), Michael Richards (Jerry Seinfeld's beloved and disinterested neighbor and unfortunate in his later film career, it is said that because of "Seinfeld's curse", already That neither Julia Louis-Dreyfus nor Jason Alexander did any important work afterwards) as the histrionic and evil psychopath and the always magnificent Jack Warden, leaving to the end what, in my opinion, the most important and powerful: the powerful beginning with the "Bad to the bone" (the same one that sounds when Arnold Schwarzenegger removes the glasses to the rude biker and leaves in the Harley in Terminator 2), every time that Junior does one of his own. Fun, entertaining and absolutely recommended.

Problem Child (1990): Dir: Dennis Dugan / Cast: John Ritter, Michael Oliver, Jack Warden, Michael Richards, Amy Yasbeck: Pathetic comedy that showcases bad behaviour and then make an insincere lesson from it as if the filmmakers are doing their good moral part. Michael Oliver stars as the problem child adopted from an orphanage into the home of John Ritter and Amy Yasbeck. Upon arrival he burns his bedroom and hurls the cat at grandpa who tumbles down a flight of stairs. Other antics include urination on a campfire, and placing firecrackers on a girl's birthday cake. Director Dennis Dugan fares well with the vulgarity. The film is well made and colourful but Oliver is not promising talent. He plays a snot nose kid who isn't remotely sympathetic. He causes chaos at the orphanage, then he causes havoc in Ritter's life, and he isn't even sympathetic in the end when we're suppose to care. Ritter plays like a human target in his willing father presentation until the bullshit phony climax. Jack Warden plays Ritter's mean spirited father whom is sabotaged by Oliver and then shafted by Ritter when the time is right. Michael Richards plays the idiotic Bow Tie Killer who really shouldn't care once he learns that Oliver sent him letters. Amy Yasbeck plays Ritter's snotty resentful wife whom Oliver can stand about as much as we can. Theme regarding role models is diverted into a low rent Home Alone. Score: 2 / 10

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

This kid is rather bad, but in no way do they make him the type that outsmarts adults and can foil experienced thieves at every turn. No, he is not so much a brat, as he is a kid with severe emotional problems. A nice couple looking to adopt get rather suckered into adopting him and while the husband is a bit more willing to give this kid a chance the mother is not. Through in a bizarre Michael Richards character and the always annoying Gilbert Gottfried and you have yourself a rather bad movie with a few laughs in it here and there. I actually prefer the sequel to this film as I like the fact they brought Amy Yasbeck back as a different more likable character as there are one to many characters in this film that are thoroughly unlikable as it is. Even the kid is rather annoying at first in this one, and they kind of chill him out in the sequel too. The plot is simple enough though as the prospective parents go to adopt this kid that they think is great by the way the orphanage is throwing a party as they depart, they soon realize they have themselves a little hellion. Add to that this little hellion getting into contact with a convict of some sort. Not sure about this character, at first I thought it was supposed to be his real father or something. Not all that good, but I will pick this ahead of that Culkin kid any day of the week.
