Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Multi-millionaire scrap metal tycoon Joe McTeague (Kirk Douglas) is a Grumpy Old Man bound to a wheelchair, who is going to give all of his fortunes to a member of his family. As he has no children of his own, his prospective heirs include his niece Patti (Colleen Camp) and nephews Carl (Ed Begley, Jr.), Frank (Phil Hartman), and Glen (Jere Burns), and their respective spouses, Ed (Bob Balaban), Nora (Mary Ellen Trainor), Tina (Siobhan Fallon), and Muriel (Joyce Hyser), and their various children.The greedy, backstabbing, Big, Screwed-Up Family members bicker amongst each other as they try to win Joe over into giving one of them his fortunes, but it doesn't work, so they hire a detective to track down Joe's estranged brother Daniel, but Daniel and Joe don't see eye-to-eye, so then there's Daniel's son Danny (Michael J. Fox), the favorite of Joe and a professional bowler with arthritis in one of his hands. When the other relatives tell Danny about Joe and his personal nurse (Olivia d'Abo), whom they believe is a Gold Digger planning to sleep her way into Joe's will, Danny agrees to help them try to talk him out of leaving his fortune to her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
| Greedy / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: The McTeagues, with the sole exception of Daniel Sr., are all backstabbing assholes who jockey for an old man's money. Frank takes the cake for hitting his son and driving his wife to the bottle. Even Danny is nearly consumed by greed, although he gets better. | |

| Greedy / int_32a1f455 | comment |
Alliterative Family: Several of Joe's prospective heirs have tried to suck up to him by naming all of their children after him. Carl and Nora's sons are named Joseph and Jonas (both called "Joe" for short), and they have a third son on the way whom they plan to name Josiah. Patti and Ed's daughters, meanwhile, are named Jolene and Joette. | |
