Plot Summary
John Ritter, Michael Oliver, Amy Yasbeck and Jack Warden return in this hysterical comedy with an offbeat sense of humor. Junior (Oliver) and his dad, Ben Healy (Ritter), relocate to a town with an over abundant supply of single women. Junior resorts to his naughty tricks to survive and protect his dad from the clutches of the town's kid-hating millionairess (Laraine Newman). On the way, Junior manages to create havoc at a carnival and sabotage an ill-fated wedding with the help of the town's other pint-size terror, Trixie (Ivyann Schwan). The unlikely pair plot to bring their unsuspecting parents together in this subversive satire on the trial of modern-day family life.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: As directed by the actor Dennis Dugan, everyone seems to be yelling their lines and making huge hand gestures instead of acting.
Rotten: The rest of the kid's tricks are too unimaginative to be much fun -- though with jokes this lame you won't have to worry as much about your children getting any bad ideas.
Rotten: Universal took a step in the right direction by whittling Problem Child down to just 81 minutes but didn't go far enough. The studio should have excised another 75 minutes and released this unbelievable mess as a short.
Rotten: Sound funny? The filmmakers here think so. They've jacked this loud, lame shrieker of a movie up to the highest decibels, both aural and visual, and rammed it in our faces with almost numbing aplomb.
