Modern Problems [VHS]
$9.98

Though Chevy Chase was the main character of the film, he was actually the least appealing character in the movie. He seemed like a pretty depressed guy right from the word go, and his appeal (even as the main comedian) just seemed unenjoyable to watch. He had too many scenes where he just sat there staring forward, and if he spoke, he said something that just contributed to him being continuing unpleasant company. I think everyone in the film showed a great more patience for Chevy's character than what he deserves. Even before the nuclear waste dump incident.

This was not that great of a comedy even though it really did have a great all-star cast. Dabney Coleman, Mary Kay Place (who was far too optimistic about life to have ever been Max's former wife), Brian-Doyle Murray, Patti D'Arbanville, and Nell Carter. These people all contributed stronger supportive roles than what Chevy Chase brought to the film. But, it may not be Chevy Chase's fault either. But, I would imagine he would be disappointed with this films overall appeal if he himself watched it today.

I own this DVD because I saw this film during a prime time of my exciting military life in the eighties. I think even Chevy's "Foul Play" was better than this film, but my favorite Chevy Chase film is still "Seems Like Old Times." But again, what helped that movie was all the great supporting cast members.

Come to think of it, I don't think Chevy Chase was ever that funny. He was just popular at the time, that's all. "Fletch" was dumb; National Lampoon's "Vacation" was dumb. His small role in "Caddyshack" wasn't that great either.

Gee, I think I just talked myself into getting rid of this DVD of "Modern Problems." I don't think I'll ever watch it again anytime soon.

Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised, and Expanded Edition
$15.95
I got this book to solve my 18-month-old's sleep problems. It took only 4 nights of crying and they were not unbearable either. The best part is that his quality of sleep has improved: before, he would wake up several times a night crying and now he does not wake up at all, and he is more fresh in the morning and not tired during the day.

Problem Child Tantrum Pack
$14.98
Problem Child 2 is one of my all-time favorite movies. This was actually a movie set with part 1 as well, and I love that movie as well so it all worked wonderfully. Unfortunately, my brother got his snake fingers on it, just shortly after it came through the mail and I haven't seen it sense =(. It's okay tho, maybe I'll just order another set. =) no scratches & new quality, just as I was told. 5 stars for bringing childhood memories back =>
