Clevercell Very disappointing...

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Sylvain Allard That this movie kicks below 5/10 rating reflects the deep intellectualism of this movie which most people didn't get or couldn't comprehend. For those we never seen it, picture this movie as a Stanley Kubrick film gem: it features layers upon layers of uncovered meanings. You can watch it endlessly and you'll always find something new.To start with, this movie is not about kids: it's about Love, real Love, and about showing the cupidity of adults in times where kids can still see through the materialistic brainwash of adult society. That explains why we've got so poor ratings since the main message, that adults are inherently stupid, doesn't play well with the masses. Junior acts as a gifted boy in the movie, so is Trixy, which is why they are presented as problem kids, non conformists, turbulent kids that don't fit the mold. In fact, they are smarter than all adult protagonists in the movie. Quickly:1: The movie opens on Little Ben with Junior who have both packed up and are ready to leave their home town for love town. This is the quest of two men in search of freedom and liberty... (and love for Little Ben)2: They end up in Mortville, a town where most women are single and looking for men (so far so good) and it's a reference to our times where there are so many singles. On that front, the women are so desperate to find a man that they go to Little Ben's house to offer him all kinds of gifts, like for a king. Junior is upset and slams the door to the second woman. Little Ben is not happy on the move and when he re opens the door he realizes that Junior is right on and that he's getting tricked by those women. (Fake love) 3: Enters the neighbor, which is your typical suburban American fat male, and he lives to spend money and he's materialistic. He loves the fact that there are so many women in town, which hints at the fact that he's cheating on his wife. Junior sees that his dad's attention is getting sucked away by this town of fake love and materialism and wants to bring him back to freedom. To make his points he causes the BBQ to explodes and get rid of the neighbor. From that point on, Junior tries to awaken his dad (by playing many kinds of funny tricks) who is getting involved with a manipulating woman, a banking tycoon, without much success. Big Ben is now broke and wants to use that mariage opportunity to get back in business out from bankruptcy, showing he doesn't care about anyone else but himself. Toward the end, Little Ben oscillates toward real love and communication and is saved from his looming bad mariage deal. Junior wins and that's the happy ending: freedom and real love triumphing over the dullness of an American way of living in the burbs and killing your brain on entertainment. Since most people did fail their life, which is miserable, loveless and based on goods, I understand why so many are pissed off about Problem Child 2, because they hate the main message that you can turn your life around and succeed.It's a courageous movie that doesn't fit the Hollywood model since it is a metaphor of our times.

welchjaxon My gosh, If there is any childhood memory i hate the most it's watching this movie. As soon as this stupid film crawled it's way back into my mind i knew i had to say something about it somewhere so it can stop swimming around in my head. I will say that this is the first movie i can remember that's so sad it made me puke. The things the kid does in the film go way passed the funny slap stick it was trying to be and swirls into a cartoon physics defying mess. The vomit scene is discussing. the jokes are rude and crude. It's lousy bad and and goes as one of the worst films i've ever seen. Now i'm going to end this review and smash my head on the counter till this stupid films case is out of my head.

FlashCallahan 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.

mjr8-1 This is a childhood favorite of mine. No I wasn't a problem child, but got enjoyment out of watching these kids run rampant. I just don't understand why it has gotten such a bad rating. Its not Oscar material, but it doesn't deserve a 3.3 either. I guess to each is own. There are some classic lines and stunts that are burned into my brain, make me laugh just thinking of it now. Granted I haven't seen this movie in 8 years, I still give it a 7 because it holds a special place in my movie watching experience as a kid with my sister. Line 9 Line 10 I don't understand why I have to make this 10 lines but I am wasting some space this was supposed to be a
