Elderly Uncle Joe (Kirk Douglas) made his fortune as a businessman, and now his heirs are maneuvering to ensure they get their portions of it once he dies. Uncle Joe isn't too keen on most of his ungrateful family members, though, so they call on the old man's favorite nephew, Daniel (Michael J. Fox), to make their case. He doesn't much care about the money, but as his obnoxious relatives gather at Joe's mansion, Daniel realizes he and the aging millionaire share a contempt for their own family.

Surprisingly sharp and funny. Fox, Douglas, and Travis are gems.

Rated: 4/5

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

The movie has a promising first act, and then makes the mistake of taking its silly story seriously, with dreadful results: The last two-thirds of this movie plays like a sitcom without the laugh track -- or the laughs.

Rated: 2/4

...a decent premise that's employed to watchable yet erratic effect...

Rated: 2.5/4

Hartford Courant

All in all, the McTeagues are a throughly unpleasant, back- biting group, complete with a boozer wife and a philandering husband, but not a particularly funny family.

Adorável rever os filmes de Michael J. Fox, uma beleza quase infantil, sua carinha eternamente juvenil, um talento e carisma apaixonante, o draminha bem convincente, recheado de humor, piadinhas engraçadinhas, tudo bem bonitinho… E o plot twist final, impagavelmente maravilhoso, adorei...
