Review of Jack the Bear (1993) by Muffin M — 10 Mar 2012
As the monster-host of a late night horror show, John (Danny DeVito) delights the neighborhood kids with his silly ghoulish antics - but his embarrassed 12-year-old son, Jack the Bear (Robert J. Steinmiller), is not amused. The other dysfunctional lunatics on the block - and his monster crush on the cute girl at school, Karen Morris (Reese Witherspoon) - don't make things any easier for Jack. But when a family crisis hits, will Jack's dad be able to lift the grownup burden from his young son's shoulders?
Also stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Gary Sinise, Erica Youhn, Stefan Gierasch and Bert Remsen.
Directed by Marshall Herskovitz.
