As a kid, I remember this movie as being hilarious. Back then we didn't need the high-tech special stuff movies have today that are so common. However, I do think the problems with this movie can be laid squarely on inadequate direction, not the acting or the actors and actresses themselves. The producer also has part of the blame, here. Ultimately, actors and actresses can only do as much as they can do--it is the director who is responsible for getting the whole team to get it together, the editors are supposed to catch the errors and screw-ups. All in all, this is a great movie for just a fun time, It's a trigger for some good memories for a whole generation, and the people who have an issue with this movie should be looking at the captains, not the team members individually, for dropping the ball repeatedly on this one. It is STILL hilarious, and it made my child laugh a great deal--and there is no better sound in the world than hearing the ones you love have fun with an old movie you remember from childhood. My advice? Lighten up, laugh more, and let things be what they are.
Seriously. This movie was absolutely horrible. I knew I was in for a real treat (yes, that's extreme sarcasm) when I started rolling my eyes 2 minutes after it started and the young Bobo whines, "Have a heart, Pa, it's cold!" Yes. Because when I was 5, I always walked around telling my parents to "have a heart."
The dialogue, the situations the characters get themselves into, and, of course, the unrelentingly terrible plot are all beyond clichéd and very ridiculous. Don't even get me started on the acting. I see that Howie Mandel's shilling for Boston Pizza now. I can't decide where his acting is worse, in that or in this.
Bah. I don't even want to review this anymore, it's just making me relive a painful two hours that I just want to forget.
I'm going to go scrub my eyes with soap now.
Don't even watch this if it's on T.V., check out something more intellectually and visually stimulating. Like an infomercial.

If you ever feel like watching a movie for just pure fun and just taking a step out of serious stuff in most movies, this is the movie you must see. The 80's cheese makes this movie so funny!
Its all about a baby boy, nicknamed Bobo, that has been banished by his older brotherinto the wilderness and then gets raised by wolves.28 years later a scientist goes into the woods to study a pack of wolves until she stumble upon the human wolf. Bringing him back to civilization, she teaches Bobo to read, talk, walk, and write his name in the favor for Bobo's mischievous brother to sign some papers to have $30,000,000 from their late father's savings into his own money instead of splitting the money down the middle. And thats where the wackiness begins. Notice the 80's story plot?
I'm not a man that is into mindless movies like Dude Where's My Car?, Bill & Ted Excellent Adventure, or Harold and Kumar Goes to White Castle for examples. But this movie, which somewhat fits into this category, makes me never get tired of watching it. It's just pure fun! 7/10

Reading over the other comments for "Walk like a man," almost every positive comment is associated with childhood memories of this film. I never saw it as a child. I just watch it recently (on TV). This is a predictable, sappy and tiresome movie, with bland slap-stick humour and simple jokes. It wouldn't surprise me if children enjoyed this movie giving rise to fond memories, but adults wont come away with anything positive.
"Walk like a man" is a comedy about a man, named Bobo (Howie Mandel), who, raised by wolves for 28 years, is found and brought back to live with his brother, Reggie (Christopher Lloyd). Bobo is trained to be more civilized by a scientist named Penny, the woman who found him, while his brother plots a method to get at Bobo's half of their father's inheritance. Bobo acts like a wolf for most of the picture and causes mayhem pretty well everywhere he goes which quickly gets boring. Bobo goes to the country club. Will he cause trouble? Bobo goes to the lawyer. Will he cause trouble? Bobo attends a dinner party. Will he cause trouble? The movie even starts to play on its own predictable routine.
There wasn't a moment in this film where I laughed. I couldn't get passed the boring routine and how everything happens for predictable laughs. Despite being a satire on "Tarzan," that lack of any laughs made the unrealistic events stand out where a good comedy should've let me look beyond them. The subplots, such as Bobo constantly ruining the neighbours cement driveway and a love story between Bobo and Penny, just aren't funny, nor touching, nor interesting. "Walk like a man" is a dull comedy worth skipping (even on TV).
