The rest of the kid's tricks are too unimaginative to be much fun -- though with jokes this lame you won't have to worry as much about your children getting any bad ideas.

It's misguided. It's not funny. And in its lame efforts to be irreverent and hip, it turns out to be just plain mean.

Some kids are born bad. Others achieve badness. And some have badness thrust upon them. The same can be said of movies.

Universal took a step in the right direction by whittling Problem Child down to just 81 minutes but didn't go far enough. The studio should have excised another 75 minutes and released this unbelievable mess as a short.

Variety
The end is refreshingly less sentimental than it seems to be shaping up to be, but the film's ugly moments can't help but leave a bad taste.
People Magazine
Smart beginning, witless ending.

There is something offensive about using an unloved and rebellious child as the butt of bad jokes in this way.

Desperate to keep up with the Joneses, a social-climbing Yuppie couple decide they must have a child at all costs. When biology fails them, they opt for adoption.
