This B-grade movie stared John Ritter and Amy Yasbeck as two yuppie parents who decide to adopt after finding out they cannot have kids of their own.

At the local Catholic orphanage, they get Junior, and are oblivious to the nuns high-fiving each other as he leaves the premises with his new family.

Even the naive Healy's eventually wake up and recognize that Junior is far from being an angel. Correspondence with a prison inmate (who escapes and kidnaps Junior) is only one of his misadventures in this film.

A little league game becomes ruined when Junior decides to play it 'his way'; Junior is mad that people think his father is a 'dork' and are calling him 'son of dork'. Ben Healy Senior (Jack Warden) becomes upset when Junior crashes the family car into his sporting goods store and helps derail his political ambitions.

Eventually, Little Ben Healy (Ritter) decides that the only way to reach his son is to love him no matter what. Because this unconditional love was a new experience for Junior, he was initially suspicious, but later grew to love his father. Flo Healy (Yasbeck) is disposed of on a trailer truck of farm animals to who knows where at the end of the move.

This movie obviously didn't have a big budget behind it, but it is hilarious for a 'family/children's movie. The music selections and Ritter's sadly underappreciated comedic timing add to the story charm. I had liked this when I was little, but completely cracked up with laughter when I saw it the other night.
