Plot
The Growing Pains Movie takes place 8 years after the end of the TV series. They are now older, and Mike is married with 4 kids. Carol is a very successful manager, Ben cleans pools, and Chrissy is a 17-year-old high school student with a smoking habit. Chrissy goes to work with Maggie, but soon Maggie is fired. She decides to enter the election campaign herself and run against her old boss. During the campaign, Carol meets the other campaign manager, Scott Coffer, and falls in love with him and his 10-year-old son Jack. But soon Carol realizes dating him could put her mom's campaign in jeopardy, so she breaks up with him. Knowing his father had real feelings for Carol, Jack takes matters into his own hands and asks her brother Mike to come up with a scheme to get Carol and his dad back together again. Mike agrees because he saw how happy his sister was with Scott. At the end of the movie, Maggie wins the election, and Carol and Scott get married.
