Problem Child Did Great At The Box Office

A couple’s life is turned upside down after adopting a mischievous young boy who pushes them to the limit in the 1990 black comedy Problem Child. Despite almost all negative reviews by critics, the movie gained $54 million domestic and $72 million worldwide at the box office.

The box office success led to two more sequels in 1991 and 1995, but the original remains with a zero percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences may recognize John Ritter as the father, Amy Yasbeck as the mother, and Gilbert Gottfried as the boy’s nemesis at the orphanage.
