Just watched this on Netflix, a rare miss considering it was made by John Hughes and had Ed O Neil in it. Still, O'Neil DOES do good with what material he has, but its so mean-spirited that i cant believe this was marketed as a family comedy. Anyone else see this film?

The kid's pretty unlikable, especially when he nearly caused the accident with that truck driver. I like the movie though since I like Ed O'Neil. Dutch was referenced twice on Married with Children, when they go to England, the airplane movie is Dutch and they scream. And when Al and Peg go to a video store and a carboard cutout of Ed O'Neil from Dutch with his face covered.

I loved it. Holds the distinction of being a film my Grandpa had on LaserDisc.

I loved the girl from Kate & Allie's breasts in this

I saw this film in the early 90s when TV channels used to actually show movies during evenings on the weekend. I remember the film being subtly depressing, but not bad. It wasn't what I expected from Ed O'Neil, that's for sure (Although Al Bundy's employment and marital situation in Married With Children was subtly depressing, the show's laugh track sort of negated the low undertones).

Weirdly, Ed O'Neill and the kid worked together over a decade later when ABC remade Dragnet.

I love it. Nothing burps better than bacon.
