Problem Child

About This Movie

So, Problem Child is this quirky 90s comedy that really nails that chaotic family vibe. Directed by Dennis Dugan, it dives into the antics of Ben and Flo Healy who adopt Junior, a seven-year-old with a knack for mischief. The pacing is frenetic, and just when you think things can’t get worse, they do—like that memorable camping trip that’s a total disaster. The practical effects for some gags hit just right, and the performances, particularly from John Ritter as Ben, are pretty engaging. It’s got that slapstick humor that makes you roll your eyes but also chuckle, capturing the sheer unpredictability of parenthood. Not your usual family fare, that’s for sure.
