You jerks have no idea how hard it is not to be able to move your legs. I hope karma gets you. Then you write for that slut ugly mom to say the "cripple kid"?

Bill Lancaster was dead eight years before this movie was released; putting his name on it was only one of a bunch of mistakes Paramount made in releasing this disaster. He would not have had a paralyzed kid and made fun of him.

I can't believe whoever put in a paralyzed kid thought it would be funny.

Yeah, don't blame Bill Lancaster, who was an excellent writer. It was the new writer, Glenn Ficarra, who updated it, along with the new producers, who thought they could make the film more PC by adding a kid in a wheelchair, then making jokes about his condition so he'd "fit in." The film was lousy.

I thought that was the only funny part of the movie.
