Plot: An ambitious father thinks nothing of using his own son to achieve his political goals in this adolescent comedy. The lonely boy has spent the last seven years tucked away and ignored by his parents, Senator Tom Morgan and his social-climbing wife Nancy, in a distant boarding school. As the story begins, he receives the depressing news that once again they will be too busy to have him home for the holidays. But then, out of the blue, they change their minds and invite him home to stay there for good. The boy is elated, but soon after his arrival, he learns the bitter truth: his father only brought him back because it is an election year and his campaign manager thought he might do better if the public saw him as more of a family man. The boy then decides that it is high time some changes were made around the house and mayhem ensues. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Simply an 80s teen movie that brings back memories. It's nice to not see cell phones, computers, and other modern things in this movie.

I love this movie and was so excited to see the dvd release
Added 4/21/2009

Gosh, I was pretty young when my mother taped Morgan Stewart's Coming Home off of t.v. for me. I watched it pretty frequently, and as I grew up it become sort of a comfort movie and it moved with me, well it wore out. So yay to the DVD Lost Collection.

Morgan Stewart is played by Jon Cryer, he's an awkward teenager who just wants to be part of his family. He's super into horror flicks. Well after a pretty crazy prank at the boarding school the headmaster informs Morgan that his parents called and they want him to come home. Morgan hasn't lived at home since he was about 8 or so. He doesn't really know much about his parents anymore and they certainly don't know or understand Morgan. His dad is a Republican Senator and his mother is an overly structured rigid rule cracking mom.

Morgan meets a fellow horror movie fan and falls in love, and the more Morgan is himself the less his mother understands him and tries to restrict his life. When the restrictions become unbearable Morgan runs away and discovers some political secrets and ...I have to leave you there least I give away the ending.

No Widescreen Release?
Added 3/18/2009

I'm glad this is coming to DVD after all these years as it's one of my favorite 80's films, but only released in fullscreen? I'm hoping a widescreen version is also in the works.

Finally!!!
Added 3/4/2009

I have worn out two VHS tapes of this movie. I am so excited that it's finally being released on dvd. This is a fun and very overlooked movie from the 80's starring Jon Cryer. I love so many scenes in this movie, I can't just pick one favorite. Now if they would release some more of my 80's favorites on dvd all would be well.

How can you fault it
Added 10/9/2008

How can you fault a movie that opens with a close up of the poster for Fulci's ZOmbie, features a George A Romero look-alike, and has the horror film geek's answer to Richie Rich - the kid with all the toys you wanted!! I mean, a Tobe Hooper autographed chainsaw!!

I love this movie and I salute the others on this page who share my affections!

**wishing for a DVD release**
