Problem Child: Ben Healy (John Ritter) adopts Junior (Michael Oliver), a kid who's so bad that even the nuns want to kick him out of the orphanage, in this hilarious, heart-warming family comedy.
When Ben and his infertile wife, Flo (Amy Yasbeck), want a child right away, Mr. Peabody (Gilbert Gottfried) cons them into taking little Junior, but they have no idea what they're getting into! Before you can say "bad seed," Junior is setting his room on fire, tormenting the cat, and jeopardizing the mayoral campaign of Ben's father, sporting goods king Big Ben (Jack Warden). But both Junior and his new father will learn what it really means to be a family in this comedy smash hit; Ritter, Oliver, Yasbeck, and Warden all returned the following year in the sequel, Problem Child 2.
Mr. Baseball: Tom Selleck stars in this hilarious comedy about an arrogant and aging major league baseball player who is reluctantly traded to the Chunichi Dragons in Nagoya, Japan, in this fish-out-of-water sports comedy. Replaced by a rookie, the resentful Jack Elliot feels superior to the other Dragons, but he has a lot to learn about Japanese baseball, which is more about teamwork than about being an arrogant hotshot. Japanese superstar Ken Takakura is their hard-headed manager, Uchiyama, whom Jack treats with disrespect, while the beautiful Hiroko helps him learn to live in and love his new home.
