Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Quite a stupid film condoning sociopath behavior. A little brat goes around being bratty , urinating in drinks that other people will pay for just because the people selling it made fun of him, putting a choking hazard in his grandfather's mouth, getting rid of women his father wanted to date, getting rid of the token bad babysitter by filming her and her boyfriend and putting on a public show of it, etc etc.And adults who make excuses for his bad behavior, so his bad behavior continues...but alas the poor boy is surrounded by an unusual number of people who are there to use his father so his behavior is justified by the film makers...and an actress who is a repeat offender who you know will end up with his father because she and he have clumsiness, "niceness" and the same hair in common (plus she is the actor's real wife and needed another job).Give this a miss if you have more than two brain cells that function and keep your kids away from it- it has curse words in it and behavior that other kids may copy if they are not able to think for themselves.

Junior and his father, Ben, move from Cold River to Mortville. Junior becomes threatened by Ben's desire to date, and sabotages each of his dates. Ben falls in love with Annie, the school nurse. Annie is the mother of Trixie - who is worse than Junior in behaviour and equally resents her mother dating again. Then Ben meets Lawanda, the richest woman in Mortville, who desires to marry Ben and send Junior to boarding school.Ben has to make the decision whether to continue to pursue Annie for love or marry Lawanda so Junior can have a mother.....If you didn't like the first movie, then I'm speaking to myself, but if like me, you enjoyed the first movie, which was the anti Home Alone when originally released, this is more of the same, but it does try a little too hard to improve on the first.The cast are good, and Ritter and Oliver have great chemistry together, you can really tell they got on well. The plot is simply having a younger girl be as naughty as junior, but there are some really bizarre set pieces.The vomit scene is genuinely nauseating and goes on a little too long, and the toilet scene is bizarrely funny. Its a surprisingly sweet film considering its a rushed sequel, and it doesn't outstay its welcome.So basically, is more of the same, nothing really good going for it, but its watchable, and hats lots of little in jokes too.

I saw this movie in the theatre and it was a terrible movie. The way Michael Oliver who now turn even worse in the sequel is the biggest intolerance I cannot bare. Junior upset his father because he would not go to school which got his father Ben madly insane. Also the Crazy Dance ride operator is not fair to Junior for not letting him go on the ride. And that Lawanda Dumore is as horrible as a serial killer to Junior because she made threatening insults to Junior which is why I cannot tolerate this movie. Even if the movie is re-released back into theatres in the extended version, I still would not see this movie because this movie is not something I can even tolerate. In fact, it stinks!

This Dennis the Menace wannabe is up to his old tricks again. But this time, he has a partner in crime who's worse than him: Trixie(Ivyann Schwan)! This pint-sized prankster gives Junior(Micheal Oliver) a run for the money. Other than that both he and Ben(John Ritter) are living happily together since his first wife left him. Now there's word of his availability, he gets set up by father Big Ben(Jack Warden) with a wealthy woman named Lawanda Dumore(Laraine Newman, SNL). This woman got it all, except a kind heart. When Junior and Trixie finished taking jabs at each other, they come to common grounds when it come to their single parents. At the wedding, Trixie did the saving just like Junior tried to. And they both succeeded. Ben told his father to marry Lawanda. Big Ben should have known better to fix up his son to a child hater like her. It's nice that Amy Yasbeck returned to the sequel as a different woman. Unlike Flo, Annie has a kinder heart. This movie was just as fun as the first. It's a shame that the critics slammed it as well.3 out of 5 stars!
