These movies are fantastic works of cinema. Problem Child 1 is perhaps John Ritter's best role ever. The Vomit Scene in Problem Child 2 is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
Excellent!!
I really enjoy these movies, they're among my favorites! If you want to laugh and have a real good time, I highly recommend this dvd.

I was a little kid, probably younger then Junior when I first saw this movie. I never saw it as a PG rated movie, to me at the time it was kind of a naughty movie that somehow I was getting away with watching, almost being a mischievous kid myself by getting away with watching it. Now, I look back on it with fond memories and how I was probably influenced myself by these movie when I was in school. Tho none of us who where wild child's could say they drove a car through a store window, hung nuns out to fly, electrocuted the neighbours, torched there room, led a bear to the camp site, threw the birthday girls presents into the pool or drove heavy machinery into a wedding, we where guilty of a few things Junior and Trixie get up to in these movies. Junior may not be everybody's idea of a fun movie, but I saw him as the kind of kid that was doing what some kids where imagining, sure, there probably ex-cons by the 4th grade, but ya gotta have a sense of humour.
The 2 movies are placed onto the one disc (same side). There are a few trailers to get through first, and then you have the option for part 1 or 2. Unfortunately there are not any bonus features. I know there are plenty of deleted scenes, you only have to see the trailer once to know that, and what I really would have liked is an audio commentary and a "where are they now" clip. I always wondered who the juniors in the beginning where? Where they related to the main actor, or where they look a likes at younger ages? And what ever happened to the kid who played Junior? Also, a bit about how Amy Yasbeck ( Flo Healy / Annie Young) met her husband , John Ritter(R.I.P) (Little Ben Healy) for the first time on the set of this very movie! Hopefully, one day they will make a special edition for Problem Child, but for now this will do. 2 of 3, and the best of the 2 one disc is a good deal. Both movies are equally funny, which proves the theory that sequels are never as good as the original, wrong!
Problem Child 3 was a lame movie that shouldn't have been made, so take these two great movies for the kids, and maybe the adults might get a kick out of it, too!?
The Hank Ketcham comic strip about a mischievous boy named Dennis Mitchell (Mason Gamble) becomes a film directed by Nick Castle (The Last Starfighter) based on a weak script by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club). Gamble is fine and Walter Matthau is persuasive as the grouchy neighbor Mr. Wilson, but Hughes spoils everything by throwing in a formulaic subplot about a criminal (Christopher Lloyd) who doesn't know what he's getting into by abducting Dennis. Been there, done that. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Walter Matthau - Mason Gamble Director(s): Nick Castle DVD Release Date: Released the 28 January 2003 Usually ships in 24 hours

This is a classic. If you want to laugh your hinie off get this and watch it about 603 times. I think Douglas (the reviewer who attacked Mark, another reviewer) is the dad from this movie.

Long before Pleasantville, this 1992 comedy featured a family taking its problems out of the real world and into the loopy fictions of television entertainment. John Ritter and Pam Dawber star as Roy and Helen Knable, a suburban couple with a host of marital problems, most of which have to do with Roy's couch-potato attachment to his TV's remote control. Things take a hellish turn when the devilish Spike (Jeffrey Jones) turns up at the Knable house offering Roy a great deal on the ultimate satellite-TV system.
Surprise, surprise: The contract signed by the less-than-cautious Roy actually requires a one-time payment of his soul. He and Helen find themselves sucked into their own television set, where they are kept on the run through such monstrous fare as "I Love...

Yes, to quote Madea Simmons from "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," this movie is a rag. It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life; it's trash, pure and simple. The acting is terrible and plus, it demeans the original (and classic!) television program. I wouldn't waste your time. Go out and buy the real TV Show and get your money's worth.

Being a former "Dennis" back in the 40`s, I was so happy to see Dennis wearing a waist holster with a 6-shooter. Well done Hollywood! My point being, we knew the difference between fantasy and reality. We had good upbringing. We could even point our finger and say "bang" and not worry about "zero tolerance". We`ve got to get our sanity back. Children need fantasies. More Info about this DVD Director(s): Charles T. Kanganis DVD Release Date: Released the 01 June 2003 Usually ships within 24 hours
