Reviews
From Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
Order this Item
Ex-con cake decorator steals a rare coin collection with his two doofus pals, just as
his 11-year-old son shows up for an extended visit. Touchy-feely comedy didn't touch many
paying customers, despite Culkin's modified HOME ALONE-ing of comical villains Rubinek and
Sartain; Danson's unlikely romance with policewoman Headly is as drab as the rest.

Macaulay Culkin and Ted Danson star in the comedy "Getting Even With Dad," a
contrived endeavor that feels like a movie deal without a movie. A son tries to blackmail
his criminal dad into going straight, but as father and son Danson and Culkin have only
one thing in common: Culkin is getting too old to play cute and Danson is getting too old
to play dumb.
