“Attila the Hun. Ivan the Terrible. Al Capone. They were all seven once.”
Problem Child (1990) is a raucously chaotic comedy where Ben Healy and his ambitious wife Flo take in a seemingly innocent seven-year-old named Junior. Their adoption quickly devolves into a series of escalating disasters as Junior's antics transform a camping trip into a battleground, a birthday party into chaos, and a baseball game into mayhem. With slapstick humor and over-the-top situations, the film delivers a relentless barrage of disorder, making it a quintessential '90s comedy for those who revel in the absurd.
