Uh, this movie was watchable for sure, but I wouldn't buy it if I were you. The plot line is about a Former Child Star (Dicky Roberts) who wants to relive his childhood, so a family adopts him... Pretty stupid plot line. The movie has it's few funny parts, but its nothing too hilarious. The first time I watched this movie, it was with one of my best friends at a movie theater. I absolutely loved it. I was 11 at the time I first saw it. so, it depends on how stupid your humor is. The movie is definitely worth watching, but also definitely not worth buying. If you want to see David Spade at his best, go see Tommy Boy, or Black Sheep... Something with Chris Farley. Although, I have had enough of this movie, I agree with the guy before me, it is a great family film.

I can't believe people are saying this was very funny and they laughed out loud. I found it to be terrible; it never made me laugh. It was beyond stupid. It may have been worse than Joe Dirt. I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 only because this wasn't one of the worst movies I've seen. It's just plain bad. Luckily, I saw it on cable and didn't pay to rent it.

In this one, David Spade plays a washed up child actor who hears about this great part. He meets with the director Rob Reiner and Rob tells him he needs to learn to act like a real person in order to get the part. So Dickie hires a normal family and lives with them. He mainly hangs out with the two kids, which is creepy itself. But is also shown being pushed in a stroller by the hot mom. There are many cameos by other child stars, but that's not funny.

FINAL VERDICT: I think maybe some pre-teens might like it since that age group often supports movies with bad plots, but if you are over 13, do not watch this.
