"But is it actually good?..." "...I don't think the film cares"
See, this is how you make a bad movie correctly.
The Room, Plan 9 and similar movies agree.
No that how you make a cheesy properly
Nope! Tommy is at his best when he tries or we wouldn't have *The Room*
@@kenrickeason Sry but THIS is a movie that had a budget and tried to be a success,the room thought that was some kind of artistic piece of modern history that could go for a movie and sadly wasn't!
This movie make me laugh allot with its gruesome style and the stuff going on in general,that was the whole point from the beginning i believe.Nowadays something like that would have been destroyed by the so called "POLITICALLY CORRECT" being sexist,showing animal abuse,teaching kids how to not be nice etc! Back then they dared without fear that much as a whole.Now comedy is dead having again the so called "POLITICALLY CORRECT" throw dirt in its grave little by little!
The Omen: the movie about the child of Satan.
Problem Child: the movie about the other child of Satan
No this is the real movie about satan's son the omen was just a prototype
There needs to be a rap battle between the two here.
MacK Davidson ERBoH.
It's the story of Good Omens, but the child isn't a blank slate and just born evil.
Wait, I thought The Good Son was about the other son of Satan?

Holy shit it's the 4 Horse Shits of the Apocalypse
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
Fact: As far as I know, this movie never was played in cinemas here in Latin America. It was always a TV movie. So, there's no way (by that time) you could be scamed o something for viewing this as a "secuel". You don't even have to paid for it, you know? Since TV is free 🤣
@@diego_barrera87 believe! I saw it in theater. My dad thought it was a sequel, so he took me inside. I didn't enjoyed it back then
@@OCsigma really? 😂 where was it? 😲

Why stupid tittle i come from latín américa
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.
To be fair; the problem child most likely did grow up to become the Chuckie doll.
@@yoda908 sus
Ha!!
One of my cousins is still afraid of chucky, even as an adult. She went by a car where a woman had the chucky doll inside her car and she was terrified. I don't blame her.

I would watch it. .in theaters, no less
It’s John Ritter’s birthday today. Great actor gone too soon.
crazy silly ... Jr’s Dad in the movie...?
Kane The Critic he and I*
And for the record John was a phenomenal actor.
Shame the mook in the video said JASON Ritter..... must be John's twin brother, or something. List close at 3:36 ...
John Linde yeah NC got it wrong. Jason is John’s son.
They showed him and bernie mac lol
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
No wonder the dad almost went completely nuts, his son is satan and his mother is a glory seeking bitch
@@mrcritical6751 I think you mean wife
@@mrcritical6751
Yes but still the son sees the father as a good person
Its ok, he meets a much nicer woman in the sequel...llayed by the same woman. Lol
Kinda reminds of that American Dad episode where that woman only wanted to marry the principal because she thought having a mixed-race kid would help her get a job as comptroller.
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
That's the thing, the opening montage kinda gives you the idea he's psychopathic but all he does in the actual plot is motivated by revenge, he doesn't attack people who don't attack him first.
Yeah exactly!! Junior just wanted to be loved, understood and treated with respect. Is that really too much to fucking ask for?!!
I felt really sad for Junior and wished that someone would have held his hand and cuddled him while he cried on their shoulder. Ben Healy was really sympathetic to him and I wish his wife Flo was sympathetic and understanding to him too and that she could have cuddled him a lot and told him that he was loved and that he would never have to worry about being dumped ever again and they could have done their best to teach Junior how to behave with other people and pets and in situations in his life.
I wish they did a film showing Junior as an adult years later showing how he's doing later.
@nothanks7063 Yeah exactly!! He never attacked that bald guy teacher in the second film as he got on with him.
Ben was the very first person to show that he would never give up on Junior and take him back to the orphanage and thus was the very first person that earned his full trust. Ben’s wife only wanted Junior for social status and to be able to be invited to parties.
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
And he got John Ritter, but drove him bonkers in this movie 😆
@@LucyLioness100 Then he cools down, saves his son, has a happy ending and the cycle begins a new in part 2. 😂
@@antman525 and then into the animated series!
@@nicktechnubyte1184 Yeah, and Ben became a cop for some reason lol.

"There's no such thing as a quiet kick to the balls"
Nostalgia Critic 2020
Good quote.👌
Any male kicked in the balls would second that statement.
Even if you don't hear the guy get kicked in the balls, you're still going to hear the reaction of every guy around him.
@@goldturtleking3967 that's how they made the oof sound in roblox
You forgot "Fin" at the end
6:42 He just threw a 50lbs dumbell like a shotput onto a one story railing, no wonder the guards are terrified of him.
Love how the impact left the warden reeling backwards, yet he falls forward from it.
The camera cuts behind him as soon as he catches the dumbbell. So, it looks like he falls forward, but really he's doing a 180 and falling off the opposite side.
Vast Expanse Yeah, you’re right. Guess I just missed that.
I was on Junior's side during the birthday party scene.
To be honest I was on his side for most of the movie.
yeah Junior's not really a bad kid, he just wont stand for being treated poorly, whether it be by another kid or an adult.
We all were
@@nothanks7063 the party I was ok with because he never actually physically harmed anyone (except for everyone who probably got poisoned from drinking the punch with that frog) some of the stuff he did though was pretty damn scary now that I think about it. I mean, baiting a bear to go after a family then beating a bunch of kids with a bat is pretty fucking bad lol
I wasn’t. He totally overreacted
Whats this? An actual nostalgic film on NOSTALGIA Critic?
DangerVille 🤭
Yep a miracle but hey danger vile can I ask somehing
Something*
Actually he reviews lazy things made by other companies.
So Bill & Ted aren't nostalgic?
Ah the 90’s, when every child movie character was trying to be Kevin McAllister
Or Bart Simpson?
Nailed it! My wife just got done showing Dennis The Menace to her granddaughter and boy that movie is super mean spirited.. So yeah Kevin McAllister set the dangerous kid trend for the 1990s..
This came out a little before Home Alone but I still agree. The 90s was full of that "KIDS RULE!" attitude/marketing and damn if it wasn't successful. Loved this movie, loved Home Alone, loved The Simpsons.
Kids where being brats before home alone
@Bacta Work They were both released on the same year, but Home Alone was released late in the year as a Christmas movie.
That’s John Ritter not Jason Ritter lol
Caught that too 😂
I'll just add a comment here because three's company.
I thought I heard that mistake too
I had to Google Threes company. Im like Jason.. Was it Jason?.... lol Hey Nostalgia Critic. Now you have to Review Stay Tuned for the mistake =D
Yea was that intentional or is he just in need of a RedBull
Will you review PROBLEM CHILD 2? It's way cruder and grosser than the first.
And also has one of the oddest casting choices of any movie. He meets a woman in the second movie that he starts dating, that is played by the wife in the first movie.
I didn’t like part 2. They took it too far with the vomit scene.
I' d love that😍
I find it odd that she has black hair & glasses which made her look like Maddie from Twin Peaks who was the same actress who played Laura Palmer. Ha!
...there’s a sequel?
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.
“Look a giraffe!”
“Look a fist!” *punches clown*
I know this movie is stupid but I love it.
I was looking for this comment! Lmmfao
Lmao as kids we used to rewind that scene over and over laughing so much to the point our mom would yell at us to shut up and let the movie play lol. My siblings and I still quote that scene to this day lol
I always think of that line every time someone tells me they're afraid of clowns for some reason😂
@@jongon0848 I'm afraid of clowns. But not distinct clowns. Joker and Pennywise are chill
This was my brothers' favorite line in the movie, he went ballistic over it laughing XD
There's so much hate for this movie, but I think it's John Ritter at his finest.

Well, "A Thousand Words" does have over twice as many negative reviews as this film. No wonder Michael Richards is racist.
This is one of the most beloved, cult and revered comedy films that came to Russia after the collapse of the USSR!
That sounds awesome. Tell us more about popular media after the fall of Russia.

This movie was my first lesson about female anatomy.
Milk Money was my first lesson lol.
Mine too even though I literally had no idea what the doctor was talking about.
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.
Yep pretty much, you look at the intro Junior got kicked out after one simple mistake for a lot of them which slowly evolved into him acting out on purpose because he didn’t trust anybody
Why is this relatable
@@mrcritical6751 And he was just a small child who literally didn’t know any better because no one told him what he was doing wrong and not to do it again.
Yeah this movie is much deeper and smarter than people give it credit to. And it's still is super funny till this day, idc what anyone thinks IT IS FUNNY
This movie is an "I'm going to turn off my brain and laugh like an idiot for 80 minutes" kind of enjoyable.
I laughed at the cat being thrown on grandpa, and I say this as someone who is such a cat person he can't enjoy Tom and Jerry.
Weaponizing cats against the elderly is a severely under utilized tactic.

Essentially, this film was a dark-comedy satire, for kids (and their parents).
It's not really meant for kids, its more of a teens to 20s movie.
This movie isn't for kids.
I loved this movie as a kid xD
No you didn't xC

I still love it, and Problem Child 2
Me too
Aurora Borealis I didn’t know a Problem 2 existed
Also this movie did the impossible. It actually used the tired "Here's Johnny!" Shining
reference and managed to make it the funniest/darkest joke I've ever seen!
10:19 the fuck is she cooking? Maybe the kid will behave better if you don’t feed him dish soap mixed with chunks of dyed concrete?
6:22 Frozen has Elsa accidentally nearly kill her sister by making Anna nearly die of Hypothermia at the end of the movie and Elsa nearly impales one of the Arendalian guards in the eyes, face, chest, and legs with icicles as long as spears. And she nearly pushes one of the guards off of her castle's balcony knowing he would fall to her death, AND not to mention one of the guards was shooting at her with a crossbow aiming for her face multiple times. So yes, the PG rating is warranted but more towards the end of the film.
Critical Dissonance: A textbook example in cinema. This film was one of the most critically hated of the 80's/90's, but managed to be a big hit at the box office, beating out Disney's Ducktales The Movie Treasure Of The Lost Lamp (which was critically loved) and starting the "smart child" trend in the early 90's (Disney would be handed a second defeat by this trend when The Rescuers Down Under faltered against Home Alone.
I heard the DuckTales movie bombed.

The kid actor is playing this role TOO WELL! I agree that lots of children in movies can be kinda wooden, but the fact is they don't necessarily know what to do, at least in the same way as a trained adult. This actor seems as if he knows EXACTLY how to be. It's as if an actually trained adult transferred their mind into a child. He is so self aware, it's almost disturbing. Either this kid is naturally like this or he's actually quite intelligent. This is the equivalent of telling a dog to sit and it pulls up a chair to a table and starts reading a news paper. It's far more than you would expect.
And then there's the fact that someone wrote this. Adults can be good writers, but they usually can't capture this sort of insanity. It's as if someone actually sat around in elementary schools and just watched bratty kids be bratty kids. ONCE AGAIN! IT'S AS IF AN ADULT LITERALLY BECAME A CHILD!
This movie is so terrible it's actually fantastic
Fun fact: the director/producers originally wanted Macaulay culkin as junior in this after seeing uncle buck but didn’t think he “fit the bill” and didn’t think he was the right choice or could portray a brat . this was before he was even signed to home alone . Boy were they wrong lol .
Really Wrong..
Home Alone's child wasn't a bratty kid at all...
darkkevinloquendo hhhhmmmm maybe Kevin’s not too bratty ... however have you seen the good son ? 😈

This was part of my childhood, and even watched the duology as recently as last month. I'm one of those people who liked them.
Also, they changed the "The End" screen for the first film compared to the VHS. The kid isn't bellowing to the audience, and then broke something off-camera.
Also, as a kid, I thought "Problem Child" and "The Good Son" were the same film for some reason.

19:47 Junior says "You're not gonna hold me to all that stupid shit about being nice are ya?"
Looks like they had to change it to "Stupid junk i said about being nice" in voice over to keep it PG.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the Problem Child movies. I was adopted, and I was always getting into trouble as a child. I remember that one of my elementary school teachers even told my mother to her face, right in front of me, "It's not too late; you can still take her back." My parents always told me that they will do everything they can to help me, and to work through any issues that come up, and that they committed to me for life the day they filled out the first batch of paperwork. Nothing I will ever do will make them give up on me. I can disappoint them, but they'll never see me as anything but their child, no matter how badly I screw up, no matter if I screw up because of my own decisions. That's pretty much exactly what these movies are about too. Ben Healy will not give Jr. up, and will work with him to get through whatever comes up, no matter how hard or frustrating it might be.

Apparently, Problem Child wasn’t even originally meant for kids and families. It was supposed to be an adult comedy, envisioning a dark, adult satire of the then-popular trend in films where cute kids teach cynical adults how to love, as seen in Baby Boom, Parenthood (directly spoofed by the film's poster), Look Who's Talking, Uncle Buck, Mr. Mom, Kindergarten Cop and Three Men and a Baby. However, the studio insisted upon turning it into a children's film.
Nostalgia Critic: My God! Which ones the child and which one is Godfrey?
Me: Shoot them both before they multiply!!!
>Godfrey
I hope this movie gets a crossover with Chucky in the future.
The kid would have to be in his thirties by now. If he plays a cameo in that crossover, it'd be fitting.
Pray for Chucky.
That is actually a great idea: A film where Chucky comes across Problem Child and tries to scare and kill him only for Problem Child to turn the tables.

To this day I don’t know how I feel about it. I kind of like it but don’t want to see it again.
You know what? Since you've got scared for a guy singing My Little Pony's theme, I dare you to review the series.
Or one of the movies
@@viletales2227 I was referring to G4, Friendship is Magic.
The 2018 movie was really good.
Fun bit of trivia: The voice of Junior in the animated show was Ben Diskin. He was one of the voices of Eugene in Hey Arnold, as well as Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 2 in Codename: Kids Next Door.
OH SHIT !
And best boy Hedia
And now he's part of the Funimation crew.
@@kimifw58 let me guess he's woke? Because he's one of my favorite voice ators
@@rinyuki8278 I dunno. I think most of Funimation's actors just do what they're told. I've only heard of one with an agenda.
Problem Child would be the child of Dennis The Menace and Bart Simpson
3:56 Don't worry, I'm laughing.
John Ritter actually played intimidating roles really well. On Buffy he played a manipulative, misogynistic killer robot and he was genuinely unsettling.
I love John Ritter, and I was a HUGE Buffy fan back in the day, yet I forgot about this. Props, yo.
My sister's a HUGE Buffy fan and she basically made me sit and watch that episode. It was actually pretty good and as was Ritter
i remember that episode :D
Wait... you mean the one who pretended to be Buffy's dad??
He also played a dirty cop in Bride of Chucky, a review we should be getting in about two years from Cinema Snob.
Critic (as Ritter): My only regret is Stay Tuned
Deadpool: (GASPS) STAY TUNED WAS A MASTERPIECE!
That parrot going "Dickhead!" still cracks me up. 😂
I totally get it; this is like if a thinner Eric Cartman had his own movie...who WOULDN'T watch the hell out of that? xD
My mom got this at blockbuster... 20 minutes into it she turned it off. I later bought it at a yard sale and loved it.
I thought the punchline was, she returned the dvd back in a basket or something.
Moms suck.
Yea my mom dragged me out of the theater lol was finally able to watch the whole thing when it was released on video at a friends
@@lookingforlove839 DVD? Lol youre too young to understand this story.
"Look, a giraffe!"
"Look, a fist!"
This is best in Italian "guarda una giraffa!" "guarda un pugno in faccia!"
That line is my reason for why I was never afraid of clowns
Just realized that Amy Yasbeck (his real life wife) was also the love interest in the second movie 🤯
There are parts of this movie that make me tumble over with laughter. Parts of it are really dumb, but it's got heart, and knows what it wants to be. I think the giant 'Love Rock' rolling over LaWanda in Problem Child 2 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I loved this movie as a kid, actually watched it so much that I wore out several VHS copies, much to the annoyance of my parents and siblings.
Clearly, I wasn't the smartest kid out there. But, looking back on it now, in all fairness, this has to be one of John Ritter's best performances, may he rest in peace.
I remember seeing this in the theatre when I was five. I asked for it for my birthday and Christmas every year it became a running family gag. My parents flat out refused to “waste another single cent” on this movie.
Larry Flint and Problem Child, two of cinema's greatest achievements. I'm starting to question you, Critic. Still waiting on that last "Fin"
The only bad problem child was "Problem Child 3"
This movie and the sequel is nowhere near as raunchy as the American pie franchise, national lampoons franchise, or 99.99% of the last "pg-13 or r rates movies of the past 10 years. If it was this movie would be child pornography, and knowing what we know about the industry now, especially about that legal pedophile island, this movie gets ALL THE PASSES!
"A faaamily picture."
A dysfunctional family picture.
"you know, for kids!"
This is the best Chucky prequel I've ever seen😂.
So Jason Ritter transformed into his dad to perform as Junior’s adoptive father? Give that guy his overdue Oscar.
I knew there'd be a joke about the "incident" with Kramer. 😂😂😂
wow, when Godfried says "what's so funny" he sounds almost completely normal
John Ritter was such an underrated actor! I loved watching him in dramatic roles
Sling Blade was my favorite.
Jeremiah Hester he’s so good in that movie
Jeremiah Hester there was a lot of TV movies he did where he was really good. Even in It he’s great! He’s probably the best adult actor in that miniseries
@@jayneroberts1236 Yeah. He will be missed.
This movie is kinda fun to watch.
