4.0 out of 5 stars one of Ritter's best, September 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Problem Child 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Such a sad day for a review of a comedy, but I had to review this movie. John Ritter's passing will be sorely felt to those who knew him and to those who love his work. This film stands out not only because of his hilarious performance as the ever-suffering father of junior, but his remarkable ability to turn even the most mundane script into a comedy masterpiece. This 1991 film reunites John Ritter, Amy Yasbeck, and Michael Oliver from the first film. The first film was amusing at best, but this one is superb. Ben Healy moves his son to the divorcee capital of the suburban world--Mortville and hijinks ensue. Junior is selfishly protective of his father and will do anything to keep him to himself,even broadsiding his father's half-baked attempts at dating. There's the homemade porn show of the first and last babysitter and her boyfriend. There's the "shocking" removal of another date from hell, and then there's Lawanda. Amongst all these, is the sweet and sublime nurse Annie, played by Ritter's future wife Amy Yasbeck. It is difficult to watch these two. Even in this early film, their affection for each other is painfully obvious. Yet, there is a poignant bittersweetness to this movie. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to tape this off the tv and I'm so glad I did. Some scenes are edited, such as the "vomit comet" scene, but as this movie is so hard to find and not on DVD, I'd say I'm quite lucky. If you're fortnate enough to find this, you won't be disappointed. It is one of Ritter's funniest and perhaps his most honest performances. Hopefully Three's Company will be on DVD soon. May you find peace John Ritter, your laughter and your smile will be missed.

4.0 out of 5 stars The title say it all..., September 19, 2001

What can I truly say about this movie. The first one is a classic, and this one continues in the same vein. Junior and Ben have left "mother dearest" and are now on their own. They've moved, and if you think it's to escape trouble, you're wrong. Junior is up to his old tricks. He goes after everyone from bullys to the women of the town, and even the local terror, Trixie. The two duke it out a bit before finally joining forces to thwart the plans of Big Ben Healy. The movie has a lot of laughs, and even some heart. If you love the first one, you'll love this one. I highly recommend it, and if worse comes to worse, just pull a Junior to make a sunny day even sunnier. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny Ha! Ha!, July 21, 2001

This movie was great! Top notch. Although the only downside of it is when the people barf on the ride and when the dog ... a mile high! Gross! But all in all, this movie was great!
