This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The real problem with Problem Child is that its a movie that should have never been made, in my opinion. I don't know who thinks impulsive, hyperactive children acting like spoiled little brats is funny, but luckily they have not made many films of this genre past the year of this release. Back then, I suppose people thought it was hilarious, children going around doing whatever the (explicit) they want, but myself, being childless, I thought Problem Child was so unfunny. Problem Child centered on a vindictive child named Junior, who nobody wanted to adopt, and with good reason...he's very destructive. When he finally finds adoptive parents, its more of a "What have we done?", but they don't want to let go, because that's what every other parent has done. In Problem Child 2, Junior has met his match...somewhat. They move to a new town, where Junior meets a ( very ugly girl) named Trixie, who is supposed to be worse then he is. Worse, is not the word. More dangerous is the word. However, Junior tries his best to reign supreme that he is the king of old and new tricks, but his plans are foiled every time, as Trixie seems to outsmart him every time. It will take a while before they shake and decide to be friends. From there, all that's left is to unite his parent with her parent, so that they can fall in love...with their help, and the help of some weird ball with a heart on it....did somebody actually write this script?? Myself, I thought Problem Child was a lousy movie, so with this being less entertaining that that, I would safely assume this to be an even lousier sequel. And it has not aged well. Not to mention, poor Trixies career went absolutely nowhere after the filming of this. Film tries to capture heart and soul. It captures one of the two, and very little of it. Thumbs down, Problem Child 2...you're not big enough to roll with the big dogs!

a true classic, a movie you can watch with your own children, later with your grandchildren, or by yourself if you need cheering up.the ridiculous plot ensures that nobody will take it seriously, and many of the classic lines " how thoughtful", "its blue cheese", "then I guess you're going thirsty loser" , will be repeated for generations in my family and I"m sure thousands of others. Anyone who is offended by this type of humor is taking life way too seriously.

Don't believe the ones who give this movie a low rating! The plot of the movie is based scarcely on things that happened in the first movie but now the main characters are the kid and his dad.After having watched more than a dozen times already this title I noticed some details like Lawanda is very fond of the color red, there are some props that are not very well hidden like the hoses where the vomit is thrown out in the crazy ride or the thread that carries the salad and the cherry tomato in the dinner salad scene.Nonetheless the soundtrack is entertaining, John Ritter and Amy are a cute couple, you do have some crude jokes in between, but still, why would you rate such a funny movie so low? Give it a try, it is more reasonable than most of the already refurbished garbage these days.

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!
