CLIFFORD (4 STARS)

Little Clifford (played by Martin Short) is a 10 year old boy who just wants to go to Dinosaurworld. And when his Uncle brakes his promise and is unable to take him this little terror shows that he's not someone to be messed with. Meanwhile Uncle Martin (played by Charles Grodin) is trying to juggle convincing his fiance that he likes kids, getting the specks down on his dream architect project, and trying to survive the wrath of Clifford.

Oh man what a funny movie. It's good for all ages. Martin Short is hilarious! Charles Grodin his great as always. And Mary Steenburgen is beautiful as always.

The critique i have is that it's exactly like all the movies like this. What about Bob, Heartbreak Kid, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Beethoven and all it's sequels, and a more recent THE EX.

It's just a conventional plot trick... Something get under one persons skin but doesn't bother anyone else... that person goes over the edge in the climax and then everything end kind of okay.

But in this film Martin Short is out right on the floor funny. With every facial expression and repetitious word out of his mouth.
