  • "But is it actually good?..." "...I don't think the film cares" See, this is how you make a bad movie correctly.
  • @OCsigma
    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 Omen: the movie about the child of Satan. Problem Child: the movie about the other child of Satan
  • @MrLuciusrm
    One thing NC forgot to mention in the review: the mother is a very despicable character. She only wants a child so she can be invited to parties and social activities
  • You missed the point of why he misbehaved after being adopted, because his whole neighborhood and city was cruel to him ONLY because he wss adopted and nothing else
  • @TheWinstonSlip
    It’s John Ritter’s birthday today. Great actor gone too soon.

    "There's no such thing as a quiet kick to the balls" Nostalgia Critic 2020
  • @DangerVille
    Whats this? An actual nostalgic film on NOSTALGIA Critic?
  • @gentarofourze
    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.

    6:42 He just threw a 50lbs dumbell like a shotput onto a one story railing, no wonder the guards are terrified of him.
  • @benm5970
    Ah the 90’s, when every child movie character was trying to be Kevin McAllister
  • RIP Gilbert Gottfried, your voice maybe a little annoying, but you still made people laugh. And you had one of funnest moments on The Hollywood Squares.
  • Will you review PROBLEM CHILD 2? It's way cruder and grosser than the first.
  • @DrRockso1987
    “Look a giraffe!” “Look a fist!” punches clown I know this movie is stupid but I love it.
  • @ztsquid3000
    0% on Rotten Tomatoes? Something worse than Master of Disguise?! 😱 I don't see it. 😑
