This movie make me laugh allot with its gruesome style and the stuff going on in general,that was the whole point from the beginning i believe.Nowadays something like that would have been destroyed by the so called "POLITICALLY CORRECT" being sexist,showing animal abuse,teaching kids how to not be nice etc! Back then they dared without fear that much as a whole.Now comedy is dead having again the so called "POLITICALLY CORRECT" throw dirt in its grave little by little!
Fact: when "Home Alone" was distributed in Latin America, they gave it the stupid title of "Mi Pobre Angelito" ("My Poor Little Amgel"). Due to the success of the movie, when "Problem Child" was distributed there, they gave it the title of "Mi Pobre Diablito" ("My Poor Little Devil"). A lot of people thought it was a sequel, and basically got scammed at the box office

Quick story. I really liked this movie as a kid, for some reason. My grandmother found out that I did and tried to get it for me on VHS. She bought me a VHS tape, but she didnt read the label close enough. She bought Child's Play instead. I have been side-eyeing dolls, as I walk past them ever since. Thanks Grandma.

The thing is the dad is right, Junior’s issues aren’t just gonna go away if they unadopt him in fact it’ll probably make it worse as the only person who ever actually tried to be a nice and just parental figure to him ends up being just another failed parent who abandoned him. Junior clearly has serious issues and he needs a good parent to help him learn to control his impulsive and troublesome behaviour

The point of Junior keeping the prune and drawing a nice picture was that Ben was the only one to never give up on him no matter what so Junior respected him, it was like how in the sequel he did all he could to keep his dad single but then found his dads eventual choice good, sure part of it was he wanted his dad for himself but he also looked out for him, like many close family members do.

6:22 Frozen has Elsa accidentally nearly kill her sister by making Anna nearly die of Hypothermia at the end of the movie and Elsa nearly impales one of the Arendalian guards in the eyes, face, chest, and legs with icicles as long as spears. And she nearly pushes one of the guards off of her castle's balcony knowing he would fall to her death, AND not to mention one of the guards was shooting at her with a crossbow aiming for her face multiple times. So yes, the PG rating is warranted but more towards the end of the film.

The nuns high-fiving as Junior is leaving the orphanage is one of my favorite split second comedy moments ever. The actresses sold that little sliver of a scene so perfectly.
This movie is so terrible it's actually fantastic
I have a soft spot in my heart for the Problem Child movies. I was adopted, and I was always getting into trouble as a child. I remember that one of my elementary school teachers even told my mother to her face, right in front of me, "It's not too late; you can still take her back." My parents always told me that they will do everything they can to help me, and to work through any issues that come up, and that they committed to me for life the day they filled out the first batch of paperwork. Nothing I will ever do will make them give up on me. I can disappoint them, but they'll never see me as anything but their child, no matter how badly I screw up, no matter if I screw up because of my own decisions. That's pretty much exactly what these movies are about too. Ben Healy will not give Jr. up, and will work with him to get through whatever comes up, no matter how hard or frustrating it might be.

The kid actor is playing this role TOO WELL! I agree that lots of children in movies can be kinda wooden, but the fact is they don't necessarily know what to do, at least in the same way as a trained adult. This actor seems as if he knows EXACTLY how to be. It's as if an actually trained adult transferred their mind into a child. He is so self aware, it's almost disturbing. Either this kid is naturally like this or he's actually quite intelligent. This is the equivalent of telling a dog to sit and it pulls up a chair to a table and starts reading a news paper. It's far more than you would expect. And then there's the fact that someone wrote this. Adults can be good writers, but they usually can't capture this sort of insanity. It's as if someone actually sat around in elementary schools and just watched bratty kids be bratty kids. ONCE AGAIN! IT'S AS IF AN ADULT LITERALLY BECAME A CHILD!

But, looking back on it now, in all fairness, this has to be one of John Ritter's best performances, may he rest in peace.

There are parts of this movie that make me tumble over with laughter. Parts of it are really dumb, but it's got heart, and knows what it wants to be. I think the giant 'Love Rock' rolling over LaWanda in Problem Child 2 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Fun fact - The film was actually meant to be a dark comedy aimed at adults but the studio forced it to be aimed at kids and it was heavily rewritten and reshot. One of the writers actually cried after the film was screened and both were extreme embarrassed by the film. But they've come to accept it in later years. The 2 have actually written some very good films as well such as Ed Wood, Big Fish, Man on the Moon, and Dolemite is My Name.

The movie isn’t the worst thing in the world and the plot could be followed along easily and still make sense. Plus Junior was written pretty well for a bratty child character and he did have depths to him that showed that he wasn’t just some brat without any redeemable or sympathetic traits to him. He got bullied by the other kids for being adopted and told he wasn’t allowed to do anything at the party or even play one game and he was constantly abandoned the first four or five years of his life. Of course he’s going to act out and cause trouble because he literally doesn’t know any better because he had no one to teach him right from wrong.
Problem Child would be the child of Dennis The Menace and Bart Simpson
12:59 there was no fin title card at the end of this bit so this implies that the rest of the entire video is part of it
Critic (as Ritter): My only regret is Stay Tuned Deadpool: (GASPS) STAY TUNED WAS A MASTERPIECE!
