Has time been kind or unkind to this infamous film after 30 years? The movie that created one of the most famous Roger Ebert movie reviews ("I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it"). Many other people consider it to be the worst of director Rob Reiner's movies. It also has taken a lot of criticism for its bad stereotypes. Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Reviews: North (1994) - 1.5 out of 4 stars"Eleven-year-old boy who's convinced his folks don't appreciate him goes to court and wins the right to choose new parents, then travels the world to find the ideal mom and dad. Wrong-headed movie never connects, and leads to an emotional and predictable finale. Reiner co-scripted with Alan Zweibel, on whose novel this was based." ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/73/Northposter.jpg)

As a kid I just found it kinda cheesy and lame, which made finding Ebert's extreme reaction to it extra entertaining. Helluva cast, though.

1/10 A awful, unfunny and outrageously dumb film. Siskel and Ebert were right on target here.
