No good loser moves in with divorced woman and her kids and causes problems.
The lady seems to live in a comfortable suburban house and spends most days in the garden, going to store, and cleaning house. First question, where does she get the money to live like this ? She apparently doesn't work, so maybe the good hearted ex supplies her with an alimony that wouldn't happen today. Then she meets an obvious shifty character and he moves right in, spending her cash and spooking the kids.
The kids are threatened by the guy, and is seen doing drugs, never seems to go to a job. The oldest boy has major issues with the deadbeat yet tells no one, not at school or simply by telling the cops. The big fight outside alarms no neighbors and again, no cops. Today's kids wouldn't waste a second to dial 911 and spill the beans, but this is a 1984 movie so I suppose they are all stupid.
Pretty awful movie with little insights to the family and its issues.
Robert Downey Jr. Plays a teen cool guy who neither adds or subtracts from the film.
