Wasn't that little brother disturbing?

I just watched this today after not having seen it for years. I remember it was one of my fave movies as a teen girl, but even then, I thought that Richie the little brother was just 'too much.' I still think it's true today.

Frankly, I thought he was strange and disgusting, and not in that typical little brother way you might be used to seeing.

I think it might be the actor who played him. I saw this boy in one other movie, and he played that character the same way. I found it disturbing that a young teen boy could come across so leering and sleazy.

Does anyone agree?

I still love this movie though!!!

This kid still freaks me out...I think it has something to do with his nose...Maybe it has to do with his face in general ...

I agree!
I think it is a combination of his face and voice.

I LOVE him! I love this film because of him! Well, not all because of him, but he's the best thing. And he was wearing a suit to bring her breakfast because he was under her spell. He even ironed her homework.

I turned to look but it was gone...

I can't stand him! As the brother or as an actor. My brothers are so sweet! I can't imagine having a sibling like that.

Yes, something was wrong with the writers when they wrote his lines for the movie

Lol I loved him, thought he was so hilarious and the way he delivered his lines, very funny.

Always thought he was pretty creepy and a terrible actor.

^^^^^ TOTALLY AGREE.

[–] harlowfan 13 years ago

As a kid, I would have agreed with the OP 100%. She hit the nail on the head with everything, but... as an adult I find him hilarious. The fact that he's so creepy, weird, and over the top is why he's great. I'm into more abstract and dark humor these days. Today, when I watch it, it just seems like he's gay. (Oops if I'm wrong. Apologies to the actor, if you were in fact simply really creepy.)

He actually is gay in real life, from what I have heard. (This should show you "republicans" out there that you are born that way, it is not learned behavior.) I agree, he was always odd in the movies he was in back in those days. Get this: I've heard his mother was a Playboy Playmate back in the 60s.
