A spoiled prep-school boy is horrified when he meets his mother's new boyfriend, Dutch, an unsophisticated, sometimes boorish working-class guy. But poor Dutch, in order to get to know more about the boy, he volunteers to pick him up from a prep school, only to know that the boy is not the nicest kid. Not at all!
If a film like this is to be funny at all, it had better work when the warring principals still hate each other, before the rich boy is shown to be a sweet kid and the whole story turns to mush.

Provides quite a few moments of fun and pathos for audiences who appreciate sophisticated family fare.
Hughes, a man more prolific than Stephen King and less inspired than Aaron Spelling, has produced yet another forgettable project. This movie shouldn't even be allowed on planes.
Warmed-up John Huges pap. Not even the hard-working Ed O'Neill can save the day.

Hughes appears to love these characters, but he's serving a platter of rancid gags, losing interest as the story lurches from one roadside encounter to the next.
