| Eleven-year-old North has had it with his parents. They are always busy with their careers and don't give North the attention he needs, so he files a lawsuit against them. The judge rules that North should either find new parents or return to his own parents within two months. Thus, North starts off on a hilarious journey around the world to find the parents that really care about him. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| CRITICAL COMMENTS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Wrong-headed movie never connects, and leads to an unemotional and predictable finale." -- Leonard Maltin | "Rob Reiner has had an amazing string of hits. Unfortunately, this time he has missed -- and by quite a bit. The premise for North sounds flat, the previews look insipid, and, while the movie doesn't turn out nearly as bad as either would lead you to believe, it is still a lackluster production." -- James Berardinelli | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Zero Stars. North is one of the most unpleasant, contrived, artificial, cloying experiences I've had at the movies." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
