They're joined by D.A. Gina Garrett (Rosie O'Donnell), who plays the mother role in their vacationing family cover. Together, they hole up in a summer home, where they may find their witness -- if they can learn to tolerate each other first.

Movies like this are chewing gum for the mind. This one holds its flavor better than most.

Another Stakeout boasts a fine cast, but the writing is so uneven and the plot so poorly developed that the film's few amusing moments get lost.

Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez still make as copacetic a team as they did six years ago...[but] Another Stakeout feels like warmed-over stuff, Badham's belated attempt to create his own "Lethal Weapon" franchise.

An unnecessary sequel with an ultra-annoying Rosie O'Donnell.

It starts too slow is the problem, once they're there for the stakeout it picks up nicely! The writers needed one more story plot to make it really good. Gina (Rosie) and Bill (Emilio) steal the movie. And Dennis Farina is so funny when his character thinks Gina is a nutball and causes himself an ice cream headache by devouring her Penguin ice cream treat in 5 seconds to get away from her. The script needed some work, but the 3 leads did their jobs, and aren't the prob! And OH MY GOODNESS, the whole dinner scene was very funny - whoever wrote that part should have kept that vibe through the whole film.

The first was no classic. This is far worse.

Just about passed some time but was considerably worse than the first which was alright.

I actually enjoy this era of Hollywood comedy: angry, annoyed adults yelling insults at each other until they all realize they love each other. It's stupid, but I can't deny it just works for me on a lizard-brain level. I forgot how good the chemistry is between these two guys, and O'Donnell falls right into place with them in the screwball-esque misunderstandings… But, uhhhh….was that a cat's-butthole-cam I saw during the dog chase scene?

The worst buddy cop film. A slap in the face to the 1987 classic. Was more of a mockery of the first film.
