Problem Child

• Comedy
• Family

A darkly comedic take on the family film, *Problem Child* charts the unraveling of Ben and Flo Healy’s meticulously planned life after adopting the seemingly adorable, yet utterly chaotic, Junior. Beyond slapstick pranks and mischievous antics, the film explores the surprising anxieties of parenthood and the challenge to unconditional love when confronted with genuinely disruptive behavior. Junior's uninhibited chaos isn’t merely for laughs; it’s a disruptive force exposing the Healeys’ superficial ambitions and forcing a reckoning with genuine connection. It’s a surprisingly cynical and relentless comedy, leaning into the discomfort of a child who actively *rejects* societal norms, offering a uniquely unsettling yet humorous vision of family life in the 90s.
