Dutch
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!

from the director of "Crocodile Dundee"? surely not!January 01, 2000
Hughes has written, directed and/or produced so many of these films by now that perhaps we can even forgive him for beginning to repeat himself.May 20, 2003
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.December 10, 2015
It's not Hughes' worst comedy effort by far, but it surely is by no means his best...January 01, 2000
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.July 20, 2011
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.July 27, 2002
Warmed-up John Huges pap. Not even the hard-working Ed O'Neill can save the day.January 26, 2006
It's all assembly-line stuff.November 21, 2008
Provides quite a few moments of fun and pathos for audiences who appreciate sophisticated family fare.
