9.6/10. I loved this sequel. It's absolutely hilarious. Junior proves to be still a source of mayhem causing hilarity. He has an equal in Trixie, also funny kid. John Ritter and Amy Yasbeck still have this great chemistry, you love how well they gel together. If anything Problem Child 2's a sequel that got overlooked and that's a shame.
Revealing mistake: Junior can't get on the Crazy Dance because he is a milimeter too short. After seeing Murph (the 20-year old in his class) and Trixie (on heels) get on it, Junior speeds up the ride and all the kids on it get dizzy and barf everywhere. If you look where the puke shoots out, it's a bit obvious it's not coming from their mouths, but from a point behind them. Most obvious are Trixie and the boy wearing glasses.
Trixie: I think your dad likes my mom. Usually when a guy does that, I hit him with a car and I knock him down the stairs, I've gotta look out for her. But your dad, he doesn't bug me so much.
Junior: And you know something? Your mom doesn't bug me so much.
Trivia: Actress Amy Yasbeck starred in both Problem Child movies; however, she plays different characters in the two films: in the first movie, she played Ben Healy's wife (and eventual ex-wife) Flo Healy. In this film, she played Annie Young, mother of Trixie and the woman who Ben ultimately falls in love with.
Answer: He injured his behind when he sat on the toilet after Junior threw an M-80 firecracker into the pot.
