3/10
True, this movie is not that great, but personally I have seen worse movies
22 April 2010
I sort of liked the first Problem Child, it had problems but it had its moments as well. This sequel is bad admittedly, but it isn't the very worst sequel out there(Home Alone 4 gets that dishonour) and it certainly isn't as bad as Problem Child 3:Junior in Love, which is Bottom 100 material. Starting with the good things, some parts are funny, like the food fight and the vomiting on the roller coaster and Gilbert Gottfried is often hilarious here as is Jack Warden. However, where the film comes down is an awful script, leaden direction, rushed camera work an even more obnoxious performance than ever before from Michael Oliver as the dysfunctional kid and apart from one or two exceptions the jokes do not work. In terms of performances, John Ritter is lost at sea here not surprised seeing as how little he was given to do, and Amy Yasbeck's performance is pretty much a copyright of her performance in the first film. Overall, bad but not abysmal. 3/10 Bethany Cox
