Her husband, Bob, the boy's actual father--played by Bruce Greenwood as a WASP who holds in his emotions as tightly as his buff buns--wants Scott
to return on his own.

The best acting comes from Greenwood as a genuinely loving father and Julia Louis-Dreyfus

The third man is the teen-ager's acting father (played sportingly by Bruce Greenwood). This devoted husband spends most of the movie upside down in a portable outhouse that got knocked down a cliff by a
careless but extremely colorful truck driver.

The support cast of husband Bob (Bruce Greenwood) and Crystal's
wife, (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) have a very strong presence. Greenwood as the
father whose attempts to reach his son are hampered by extreme mishaps
mainly concerning a transportable loo.

OK, maybe we could buy Nastassja Kinski asking for help from former lovers Crystal and Williams if her husband (Bruce Greenwood) were a jerk, an abuser or a bum. Alas, he's none of the above. In fact, after Kinski separately convinces each comic that he is the father of her 16-year-old runaway son (Charlie Hofheimer), nice guy Greenwood himself goes after the boy he's been raising as his own. By then, Crystal and Williams have run into each other on a trail filled with
lame jokes and stale routines. (Poor Greenwood gets the worst of it in a messy subplot about being trapped in a outhouse.)

One of the funniest scenes in the movie -- and something that turns into
a running gag -- doesn't involve Williams or Crystal, but another man
who is trapped in a port-a-john.

The biggest laughs are likely to be generated by a gutter sequence with a man trapped in an overturned portable toilet, a scene that doesn't even feature the two stars.
