Which character did you dislike the most?


I always wanted to smack Rick Moranis's character for being such a jackass.

I believe that I would have found this movie better if Julie wasn't a bratty bimbo. Who would be stupid enough to think it's a good idea to have sex, let alone photograph your 16-year-old selves doing it?!? Not even Tia from Uncle Buck was this bad!

As parents go, Larry's the worst, obviously. And for a movie that shoves lessons down your throat, it decides NOT to do the same with him. Odd.

However, due to Rick Moranis being my favorite actor, I can't bring myself to hate anyone he plays, and that includes Nathan. Don't get confused; it still kinda breaks my heart. There were good intentions he had raising Patty, but he can make time with Susan; he can't neglect. I'm not sure if I'm remembering 100% correctly, but did he get mad at Susan in one scene because he didn't want another baby? (Incidentally, Rick got an award for this movie, but NOT Little Shop of Horrors, which I think is a much better movie, but I digress.)

I hate Phil Richards and Ed.

Cool. He talked too much through out the movie. They gave the kid too many lines.

That ass hole watching the game going into a cardiac arrest over a stupid little league game...

Larry. Every time I watch the movie I wish his character & storyline had been completely cut. He's completely unnecessary IMO.

Kevin. I hated Kevin.

The boyfriend of Steve Martin's daughter. He strikes me as the kind of guy who would get a woman pregnant and leave her to deal with it by herself.
