I can't believe no one has posted anything about how obnoxious and whiny charlie was. Everytime he says a line it's a whine. Good thing Tim Allen is too good to let this little twerp get in the way of the comedy.

I agree. I know the character is supposed to be, what 6, maybe 7? But good gravy, Eric Lloyd's lines are delivered with that type of whine that would've earned me a good butt whoopin' and a grounding.
Of course, in the second movie, he's grown up but no less annoying. -

Anyone who would beat and ground a child for something so stupid isn't parent material. That's not normal.

I agree, whiny. I'm just now watching the whole thing finally. Irritatingly whiny. But most movie kids are in Christmas movies. They're all either ungrateful brats or exceptionally needy. A happy, well-adjusted, appropriately-spoken kid wouldn't work in a Christmas movie plot.
But it does make it hard to sit through this. Ugh. So bored. -

Charlie was very irritating to watch at times. I think I would have given up after 20 minutes had someone else been the protagonist and not Tim Allen. I don't like saying that, sadly, cause I was expecting a nice family movie.

True, but at least he wasn't bratty, he just had an annoying voice that made him seem whiny.
He has proven many times throughout the film that he genually cares for this dad and family. Like Scott said, he's the least selfish person he knows.
He stood by him the whole way
