I had a look on netflix, I was in the mood for a national lampoon christmas vacation movie, then I came across this: OWW problem child! a film that I had flattened at the age of 8 like many others.
He is extremely over the top and also seriously bad, but so bad that he is actually fat! When grandpa waltzes in big ben and immediately blares terribly politically incorrect things, drops his pants on national TV etc.
I'm sorry but I cracked up! Weather.

Monstrous movie. The creators deserve the seat for delivering this junk. I've seen many attempts at humor, but they all went wrong. Nothing works. Everything fails.
This is where I'm going to be very upset! sorry but gilbert godfriend and big ben I'm a big dent! part 2 had cool stuff too, just laughs like nostalgia and mindless entertainment. 3 stars!

Mediocre film about a couple who cannot have children and decide to adopt a boy. A simple setup for a comedy like this with a weak story. It's all exaggerated and luckily the film doesn't go on the good tour too often. Young Michael Oliver is not only well-cast with his mischievous appearance, but is also annoying in a fun way. Just not 3.0 stars.

Geez.
What an annoying little guy that Michael Oliver is. That guy is literally annoying throughout the movie. That annoying squeaky voice, and besides that, everyone around him acted very faintly. Started out so hopeful...
The film does not have a single successful joke and is generally painful to watch. That guy is bloody annoying and really the type that wants to strangle you right away. That the parents will keep it up for so long with that guy on set. The film is bland and dubious even for children.
One of the worst and most ridiculous movies I've ever seen. There wasn't a moment where I thought, now it's a little better. No good acting, the only thing left is the well-chosen location. But of course children don't pay attention to that at all.
