the first scene in problem child have a baby pee into a nun face . for this movie and that witty . a nasty and mean spirited comedy and it inept on so many level it beggar belief . john ritter be the kind father who adopt the child from hell and and kudos to him for maintain his dignity in the surround onslaught of one note and annoying performance and puerile humour . and what the hell jack warden do in this mess . slackly direct by dennis dugan and obnoxious in it attempt to turn on the sentimentality when it do with the crudity and the movie be make so badly it quite a bizarre experience . but never mind all that . the lowlight of the whole thing be michael oliver and the most repulsive and unlikeable kid actor ever to hit the screen believe me and you will want to smack him right in the mouth .
