i got this movie for my birthday and watched it tonight it was hilarious its about former childsar dickie roberts (david spade) he wants to reach high fame again as he did as a child but he's washed up and isint real enough when he additions for a part in a rob renermovie but rob says he isint a real human he never got to live a real childhood so he hires a family to take him on to live his childhood now. He joins a family with a mother grace, 2 kids sam and sally and a father who pays little attention to his kids and only hires dickie for his pleasure to be in a commercial. The kids call him stranger danger but they grow to really like him. He does some crazy things dye his nautrally blonde hair brown, make himself a water bed, ride in a baby stroler and offer the kids beer but it pays off the family puts on a fake christmas for him so he can pretend to get a bike he gets to be in the film. But also he falls in love with grace cuz her husbend ran off with dickie's ex girlfriend. When grace has no money at christmas for gifts there dickie is and he bought a lot of gifts. A really good movie and dont shut it off to fast before the credits cuz former childstars sing durring the credits. One of the funniest movies ever seen!

I recognized the thumbnail photo from TikTok and figured I'd watch and I'm so glad I did. This movie had me waking the kids up laughing. Not only is it funny its super sweet, almost a rom-com.

OMG I was obsessed with this movie as a kid when it came out. I have been saying "this is nucking futs" and "insane in the membrane, insane got no brain" my whole life because of it. I was so excited to see that it's on Prime. Such an amazing, nostalgic watch!

Being such a fan of films made by Saturday Night Live performers of Spade's era, it's amazing that I'd never actually seen this movie. I was told that it wasn't that good and that it wasn't Spade's best work - not measuring up to Tommy Boy, etc... I will admit that Tommy Boy was more memorable, but Dickie Roberts was quite a bit better than I was expecting it to be. I wish I had seen it sooner.
David Spade is the perfect actor to play this role of a washed-up former child star on the skids. He believes that he's still part of the "in crowd", but he always finds himself on the outside. The side of Spade displaying his quick-witted insults and harsh nature serve him well in this part and he does an excellent job with it.
The storyline is rather ridiculous, as is the case with most movies of this genre, from the SNL crew, but again, it hardly seems to make a difference. The movie is entertaining and lighthearted - not meant to be taken too seriously. I thought it was hilarious. There are some great one-liners, which Spade seems to have built his fame upon.
The supporting actors are also cast perfectly. Highly recommended for fans of this brand of comedy.

I have always loved this movie and wanted to show it to a friend who hadn't seen it before. Found it on amazon prime and watched it immediately. David Spade in his glory days. Not too raunchy of a movie like some comedies are nowadays. Loved it!

In addition to being a fan of David Spade, I also liked the casts of Saturday Night Live around the time when he was on the show. Although by no means one of his better performances, the storyline and actors make this movie enjoyable to watch and provide a few laughs.

I had to use that for the title. OMG I saw this the first time I beyond loved it! I had to buy it. It is such a nice come back for all the child actors that are left out there. It is a very sweet and touching story. The ending of the movie is a must watch. A lesson he learns can apply to all. The extra video song with the former child actors is hilarious! I am not much of a David Spade fan, but he blows me away with his Dickie character. Really Really Worth Watching

When i got Dickie Roberts on video, i got my sister (who is 5 years younger) to watch it with me, and we definately give the film a huge thumbs up. She watches it more than I do and takes it to her friends houses so they can watch it too!
The cast put on a great humorous performance, especially David Spade who was loveable as the confused, stubborn and clueless Dickie Roberts. Many people will also love Jack and Sally, the kids who reluctantly help Dickie relive his childhood, and also get help from him for their problems.
There wasn't any scenes that we wanted to skip, there was something to entertain everyone - from the dance routines, dickie's accidents, memorable one liners, to the song at the end featuring many child stars from much loved shows such as happy days, saved by the bell, diff'rent strokes, the brady bunch, etc. (trust me, its a funny catchy song).
I definately recommend this film for people of all ages, or at least for parents to buy to keep their kids entertained for a long time.

Hilarious comedy featuring David Spade, its even more watch-able to try and identify the grown-ups that were once all famous as child actors.
