16. Problem Child (1990)

Starring: John Ritter, Michael Oliver, Jack Warden

Even after this film got a poor rating from Rotten Tomatoes and head-scratching reviews from film critics, it still got a couple of sequels after this one. Basically, this film is about a couple who haven’t had success in bearing a child, so they decided to adopt one, which is Michael Oliver’s credit role, Junior.

From more than 50,000 ratings, the film got an audience score of 42%, while its Tomatometer was 0%. However, according to The Numbers, movie-goers didn’t seem to be bothered about the review as this film is still considered a hit after accumulating a worldwide gross of $72.2 million, which is equivalent to $116 million if adjusted for inflation. On the other hand, some comments in the movie wrote on Rotten Tomatoes’website stating, “Smart beginning, witless ending.” while a staff member from Variety used the phrase “unbelievable mess” to describe the film.
