GET A LITTLE SAVAGE.
Another U.S. remake of a French film, this time Little Indian, Big City (1994). The story is the same; a businessman (Tim Allen) goes to the Amazon and finds out that he has a 13-year-old son whom he brings back to New York. There are no surprises here of course and the subplot concerning coffee and the Russian mafia is not very interesting. But Allen is right as the stressed-out businessman, Martin Short gets an opportunity to do slapstick, and kids will doubtlessly approve.
