Product Description
A resourceful 11-year-old boy, Ben, tries to scare off his mother's suitor, Jack, a beleaguered federal prosecutor unprepared for stepfatherhood, by forcing him to join the YMCA's Indian Guides program and participate in Native American-inspired rituals and games. The boy's scheme seems to be working until a vengeful indicted mob boss enters the picture and decides to have Jack eliminated. Ultimately, the guides take on the mob and use their superior wilderness warfare tactics to capture Jack's pursuers. In the process, Jack and the boy forge a bond of friendship, respect, and love.

This movie combines the likeness of adventure, slapstick, drama, comedy, and a little bit of action all roled into one!
Ben (Jonathon Taylor Thomas) a young boy who everyone important in his life has left him, except his mom (Farrah Fawcett), who has just found a new live in boyfriend Jack(Chevy Chase). Ben is worried that his mom too will leave him for this attorney. So he tries everything he can to get rid of him and of course nothing seems to work. Ben finally meets up with a young boy who is part of the YMCA Indian Guides, Ben signs himself and Jack up. What happens next is wonderful, however what started as a plot to get rid of him starts to make Ben see some good points in him. However, if this wasn't enough Jack has a loony bunch of criminals trying to kill him for sending their father to prison. I won't tell you anything more for it will give away the plot. But Join this all-star cast of Indian Guides and the rest of the characters in a whirlwind of excitement

This used to be one of my fave movies when I first saw it in like 4th or 5th grade. It's a really good movie starring the younger Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Chevy Chase.

Featuring J.T.T.
A DVD worthy of being added to your collection, especially if you are a Jonathan Taylor Thomas fan. Not quite as cute as in his early 'Home Improvement' days, but he's still a gem... Read more
