Drama about a single father (Danny DeVito) trying to raise
his two young sons (Robert J. Steinmiller, Jr. and Miko Hughes). A dispute with a racist
neighbor threatens the family's safety and stability.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Two rather quick kisses between the prepubescent lead and his
same-age girlfriend.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - DeVito is the host of the late night horror movie and we
see him in gruesome makeup: in two scenes he sticks a meat cleaver in his head and it
spurts fake blood. A child finds his dead grandmother but we don't witness the discovery.
A boy is kidnapped and when returned, we see him slightly bruised in a hospital bed. A man
falls out of a tree into a pack of Dobermans, and while nothing is seen, we hear the dogs
growling and biting. There's a chase scene through a house, and two boys come to blows.
PROFANITY 2 - Ethnic slurs are mentioned three times, and some mild
profanity approximately four times. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The death of a parent, kidnapping, alcoholism, single
parenthood.
MESSAGE - You can get through anything with the help of a loving parent.
