  Fun. But, the real problem is the screenplay.

• AJ V

  
  A fun filled family adventure flick. I really liked this movie when I was a kid, and it's still entertaining.

• Tim S

  
  Again, once was enough.

  "You mean we've been doing "it" every night, for nothing?" Recently, I've written less reviews. Half a year ago, more or less, I wrote almost every day. One reason why I've become less effective is because of crappy movies like 'Problem Child'. I watched this movie from the TV, and afterwards I asked myself "Why didn't I change the channel? Did I want to hurt myself subconsciously?" I still don't have the answer to these simple questions. Say what you say of Gilbert Gottfried, but I actually laughed to some of his scenes. There's something about his voice and manners that have a positive effect on me. John Ritter is lame as always but the real bastard of this movie is the child actor, Michael Oliver. I'm totally against hitting children but everytime I saw his face... Fuck me sideways! Have I ever seen a more annoying or less talented child actor? No. And the movie got a sequel staring the same lead actors! Why in the fuck? This is one of the worst movies I've seen. The acting is lame, the "humor" nonexistent, the story boring as hell. Skip this one.

  Even as a kid i already knew this sucked.

  Black comedy about a bad boy. I liked his antics. There was a good message about parenting, with John Ritter having unconditional love for the boy, but also some hard love. Some of the boys' pranks were funny and imaginative; I laughed at what he came up with. We wouldn't… More

Some of the boys' pranks were funny and imaginative; I laughed at what he came up with. We wouldn't want this sort of behaviour in reality however.

  goofy and fun family film

• Michael G

  
  Horrible and stupid. But for some reason I can't put my finger on, I really like this movie.

• Dean M

  
  Two thumbs down! Bored comedy of a 'little monster'.

• Christopher H

  
  Not as good as I remember it being when I was younger. John Ritter was still the man though.

• Curt C

  
  Problem movie.

• Sarah P

  
  This was one of those movies which I thought was funny for the type of movie it was. I probably wouldn't watch it again but it was worthwhile to see once.

  Honest to God (or something like it) that I do not know, care and/or can tell if this is a good movoe or not because my judgment is clouded by the hours and hours and hours of uninterrupted fun I spent as a child watching this movie and its sequel; whenever they're both on television (and it's always one after the other) I can't help myself and see it and have fun. Also, it is very, very important that, like Pete & Pete and The Simpsons, I see this movie in Spanish.

  they dont show this much on the tube however if you ever get chance to watch this i suggest it

  Great film for Singles! An insight to ponder about children. The state of them, that is. Dennis Dugan is a great director for comedy. LOVED IT!!
