Anyone remember this movie?

My favorite scenes are:

Where Junior "becomes interested in photography", and he takes pics of the nuns changing and the priest going to the bathroom.

At camp, where Junior pees on the campfire.

At Lucy's birthday party, where he throws all her presents into the pool, puts a frog in the punchbowl, and replaces the birthday candles with firecrackers.

Yeah I remember that movie. I saw it years ago when I was a kid on Christmas Eve. There were 2 sequels. I later learned the foster father was played by the late John Ritter. Also his wife I think was played by that woman from The Mask, the one who betrayed Jim Carrey to the bad guys. She also appeared in the sequel playing a completely different role. Also that guy who voice the parrot Iago in Disney's Aladdin was in all 3 of them.

I remember this film my favourite bit was when he put the sprinkler in the little girl's room and turned it on, and in the second one he did something to the ride to make it faster and everyone was sick.

The actress was Amy Yasbeck. She and Ritter were also married in real life.

And Gilbert Gottfried played the parrot.
