Problem Child (1990)
7/10
This Movie is Dark
9 June 2011
This movie is often perceived as the toxic chemical runoff of early 90's children entertainment, but in reality it has more in common with the adults of that time. This is a cynical movie, literally everyone, save one person, is a terrible human being. From the overbearing wife who only wants a child to use as a social tool, to the money-grabbing grandfather who hates his son and grand-son, to the freaking nuns who attempt to eject the "problem child" in question from their orphanage, this movie is dark. That is not to say that all of it is good, the narration by the child is a typical "rambunctious and hilarious" attempt that would make John Connor in T2 blush.If you can tread through the obnoxious 90's child crap, prepare to see a surprisingly entertaining film.
