About this movie

John Ritter, Amy Yasbeck and Jack Warden star in this hilarious comedy with an offbeat sense of humor. Good-natured Ben Healy (John Ritter) and his social-climbing wife Flo (Amy Yasbeck) adopt seven-year-old Junior (Michael Oliver) to help brighten their lives. But Junior soon turns an ordinary camping trip, an innocent birthday party and even a little league baseball game into full-scale comic nightmares. Thinking all his new son needs is some loving attention, Ben puts up with Junior's mishaps but only to a point. Just as he's ready to take drastic action, Ben realizes that beneath the little monster lurks an angel craving affection in this satire on the trials of modern-day family life.

I noticed they were playing Bad to the Bone by George Thurogood and the Destroyers. My favorite part of this movie is when the kidnapper gets him and the kid shows him how to make a bomb. Hilarious. I couldnt stop laughing.😆.

I love the way Ritter is in denial that he adopted a not so innocent young boy, it's hysterical.
