Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The sorry crew are back again, except that Amy Yasbeck, unable to reprise her role as the humiliated mother, plays the simpering school nurse who steals Ritter's heart. The wicked witch here is heiress LaWanda Dumore (Newman), who improbably sets her Calvin Klein cap at pop-eyed, pudgy Ritter. A faint heh-heh might escape your lips at the antics of an Ellen Barkin lookalike tot (Schwan), but mostly it's predictable, hopelessly over-extended stuff: the pissing-in-lemonade joke, the lengthy projectile vomit scene, fun with farts, and the exploding toilet gag.Author: SFe
