A spoiled prep-school boy is horrified when he meets his mother's new boyfriend, Dutch, an unsophisticated, sometimes boorish working-class guy. But poor Dutch, in order to get to know more about the boy, he volunteers to pick him up from a prep school, only to know that the boy is not the nicest kid. Not at all!

A tiny peek into what the entire Hughes filmography might have been like if Hughes was a dogmatic Marxist.

The acting is only a little more uninspired than the screenplay, which is directed without shame or flair by Peter Faiman of Crocodile Dundee.

Hughes, a man more prolific than Stephen King and less inspired than Aaron Spelling, has produced yet another forgettable project. This movie shouldn't even be allowed on planes.

It's all assembly-line stuff.
January 01, 2000
Hughes has written, directed and/or produced so many of these films by now that perhaps we can even forgive him for beginning to repeat himself.

Provides quite a few moments of fun and pathos for audiences who appreciate sophisticated family fare.

from the director of "Crocodile Dundee"? surely not!

Coarse tale of family and Thanksgiving for teens.

Hughes appears to love these characters, but he's serving a platter of rancid gags, losing interest as the story lurches from one roadside encounter to the next.

Warmed-up John Huges pap. Not even the hard-working Ed O'Neill can save the day.

If a film like this is to be funny at all, it had better work when the warring principals still hate each other, before the rich boy is shown to be a sweet kid and the whole story turns to mush.

It's not Hughes' worst comedy effort by far, but it surely is by no means his best...
