Tell Them We're Number One (1991)

Wow, a young boy living with his family in a big city, has a problem. His father is a gambler, and Wow, indisputably, is a jinx. Once, Wow causes his father's arrest, then a sequence of unfortunate events befall on everyone close to Wow. Eventually, the long-suffering father sends Wow away to an uncle in the country. But if the uncle and grandfather are as gentle and kind as the child's loving mother, the auntie is a tyrant. Luckily, Wow meets a young girl and soon his luck changes - sort of.
