Yes, got to say some of these adults were so stupid.


Any normal human being would jump out of the tub with someone threatening with a hair dryer. Also.... he is such a tiny tiny boy. Why didn't his next mother simply grab the hammer away from him when he came at her with it. I mean I can see her running away if it was a big man.... but we are talking about a small nine year old boy here!!!

The movie is for fun and not suppose to be taken completly serious

You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

reply

yes i know what your getting at but when he had the bow aimed at them there wasent much they could do but run.but anyway it's a movie there is always stupid stuff in movies that you wouldnt do in real life.

reply

I disagree. When he points the bow at Mr. Jenkins, Jenkins shoots, no bullet, he shoots again, still no bullet. If he had any brains he would have just JUMPED out of the way as he KNEW Mikey could let go anytime. The adult characters are utterly stupid.
Like the mother just sitting in the chair watching Mikey coming against her. She does NOTHING. I would have stood up, just grabbed the hammer away from him. After all, a boy that age does not have much strength compared to a grown up woman, plus he wasn't that tall.
This goes into the book of 2/10 I give to movies that are just dumb, but where something could have been worse so they don't deserve a 1.

I concur. The mother was stupid as she just let Mikey smash her hand with a hammer and what does she do? She runs off to get some ice rather than out the front door or to defend herself. Even after being told by two people that her son is dangerous, she just decides to ignore them and let him do his own thing.

Idiot principal guy just stands there and lets himself get shot.

Stupid teacher woman WALKS, not runs, away from Mikey when he is trying to kill her.

reply

How about the stupid father at the beginning who lets Mikey bash his head in with a baseball bat instead of simply putting his hands up to block the blows?

I'm happiest...in the saddle.

Humans act very dumb in these kind of films.

Most of the adults in this film did have their fates coming!
