Killed Danson's Career, 24 January 2006
1/10
Author: unlv_2 from United States

This film truly killed Danson's leading man status in feature films. While he was on a bit of a down-slide anyways, this movie effectively ended any bit of star power he had left. It is the reason he began starring in many made for TV movies and series, not to say that Becker wasn't a very good series. The script in this movie was just so horrendous and that kid was the worst child actor I have probably ever seen. They should have got a young looking midget who can actually act and have him play the child, it would have probably been more believable. Danson's agent should have been fired after this movie if he wasn't. I realize that he loves his wife and starring in movies and TV shows is a good way to spend time together, but the product that is produced every time is just not up to par with much of his own work.
