Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Scraggy slapstick comedy which attempts to give the Kaspar Hauser myth a new twist. Bobo Shand, son of a wealthy family, is lost in the woods as a kid and raised by wolves. Twenty-eight years pass before he's found by an animal behaviourist and reintroduced into human society. Needless to say, his grasping, wheedling family is considerably less civilised than his old feral friends. Neither Leachman's class nor Lloyd's clowning can put meat on this very dry bone.
