About This Movie

Help Wanted: Kids is an interesting watch from '86, blending adventure with the nuances of family dynamics. The Burkes relocating to Arizona sets a particular tone, showcasing the struggles of starting anew while navigating the complexities of a new job. The pacing has its ups and downs, reflective of the characters adjusting to their surroundings. Sirus Lovelin, the boss, embodies a rigid view of the American family, and his interactions with Tom create a certain tension that's quite palpable. It’s not just about the job—it touches on parental roles and expectations, which makes it a bit more layered than your average TV movie. Plus, the practical effects are simple yet effective, bringing a certain charm to the overall vibe.
