The problem is that no one cares about the child

Problem Child: no stars

I'm watching "Problem Child" because 1.) summer TV sucks and 2.) there's nothing else on. It's on USA for the 1,000,000th time. While watching this movie the thought occured to me: Who in the hell thought this was a good idea? I don't understand why someone would want to watch a movie about parents who can't control their child. If they want to see that, go to the park.

I found it incredible that the movie teaches kids it's ok to almost kill every baseball player on the team. For some reason, I don't like John Ritter. It's something about him. And the little kid is worse. He's ugly, annoying, and I hate his voice! This movie sets a horrible example for kids. It's ok to throw some poor girl's birthday presents in the pool (actually, I've grown kind of fond to that scene BUT IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING!)

I guess Michael Richards thought this was the best he could do. Or something like that because if he was where he is now, he would have never accepted. The main problem with the movie is nobody seems to care about this kid. He almost killed 12 people. BIG DEAL! He ruined part of a department store. OH, WELL! The only thing people do about it is complain. People complain about kids everyday. Why make a movie about it? That I'll never know. John Ritter says in the movie "I've adopted Satan." No... But this movie was definately made by Satan.
