Problem child 2 full movie movie#
He is met by Trixie Young (Ivyann Schwan), who has known about him since the beginning of the movie (as he shot her balloon with a slingshot on the way to their new house). The next day, Junior is reluctant to start his first day of school at Mortville Elementary. In retaliation, Junior sets the gas pumps on Aron's grill up to high and when he goes over to light it, it ferociously explodes, causing him to land in a kiddie pool in the next yard, charring his eyebrows in the process. Aron then taunts him about how their hospitality is not good enough for him. They demand him to each give them $10.00. While there, Junior is introduced to Aron's twin daughters Dolly and Madison (Krystle and Tiffany Mataras). Aron Burger (Alan Blumenfeld) finally glad to have a man friend in the neighborhood, modestly invites them to his house for a barbecue. Apparently Mortville is also known as "the divorcee capital of the world", overwhelmingly full of women with few men, and in its center is found a sphere-shaped rock-made monument called The Rock of Love. When they arrive at their new house, dozens of women line up in their front yard, wasting no time in wooing Ben. Ben is initially sad to be leaving Cold River until Junior reminds him that everyone there has been horrible to him his whole life including his father, former wife and neighbors Ben tells Junior he is right, they then leave while knocking over the “Now Leaving Cold River” sign, then a montage is shown of them traveling cross-country. Mortville is shown to be a quiet, peaceful community, as well as apparently a way for Ben and Junior to start their lives all over again. However, it has achieved a slightly higher score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the positive reviews praising it as better than the original Problem Child.īen Healy (John Ritter) and his son Junior Healy (Michael Oliver) move from Cold River, Illinois to Mortville, Oregon. This second installment in the Problem Child franchise did not fare as well as its predecessor, Problem Child, only performing about half as well at the U.S. This film was produced by producer Robert Simonds, who also produced the first film in the Problem Child series, Problem Child. In this film, Amy Yasbeck portrays Annie Young, unlike the first film in which she originally portrayed as Flo Healy, wife of Ben Healy (John Ritter). a continuation of the exploits of an adopted orphan boy who deliberately wreaks comedic havoc everywhere he goes. Production Problem Child 2 is the 1991 comedy film sequel to the 1990 sleeper hit Problem Child.Trivia buffs may find solace in the fact that Yasbeck played Ritter's wife in the original but the cumulative effect of this pointless, puerile sequel is so appalling it's almost amusing. Jokes come in categories marked "turd", "fart", "dead dog", "bodily fluid" and "food fight".Īlthough the piece de resistance, or nadir, depending on your viewpoint, has to be a chucking up sequence at the local funfair that puts even the legendary barf scene from Stand By Me to shame. No avenue of bad taste is left unmined as the screenwriters sink to increasingly and impossibly low depths in the pursuit of anything vaguely resembling a laff. You can pretty much guess the rest as Ben, desperate for a new mum for his charge, agrees to step down the aisle with LaWanda, and Trixie and Junior team up to matchmake with the obligatory destructive consequences.
But Ben's affections lie with Junior's bespectacled school nurse Annie (Yasbeck) who refuses to reciprocate on account of her moppet daughter Trixie, a brat of such monstrously hideous proportions even Junior may have found his match. Having disposed of his wife at the end of part one of this sorry saga, Ben Healey (Ritter) and his adopted son, the diabolically-inclined Junior (Oliver), uproot to Mortville - "divorce capital of the world" - where the elder Healey's presence is greeted with a lustful appreciation by the legions of single women beating a path to his door.Īmong them are ex-Dallas starlet Charlene Tilton and Laraine Newman as LaWanda Dumore, the town's scheming banker and veteran of six husbands who has Ben down as number seven.
