      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Crude, rude, puerile, and pointless, Problem Child 2 represents a cynical nadir in family-marketed entertainment.

      Matt J Arguably funnier than the first, but the choice of being a dark comedy takes it down a few notches in my book. The late, great Jack Warden works perfectly well with everyone in the film. While I would agree that a third true sequel probably would not have worked (Oliver was getting older), it does end on a good note and hopeful that Big Ben found love and finally achieved happiness. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Moe Y This movie is waste of oxygen and should not be even on this website. I love tomatos and i eat them almost every day. this one is very rotten. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Meydiana R More Trouble! The "Problem Child" movies have made us laugh our way into the 90s with a mischievous boy playing pranks and whatnot! Both movies are actually good; I liked the very first "Problem Child" the best, and the second movie may lack all the fun and funny elements from the first part, but it's still very fun! If you've never seen the "Problem Child" movies yet, then I suggest you find a way to view them! Look for it on TV, go to the video store, anything! Anything that will keep these movies from going into oblivion! (Yeah, it seems like it nowadays. :-( ) "Problem Child" - always fun, always funny, always great! :-) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 31 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In memory of John Ritter and Gilbert Gottfried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Lourdete G Conseguiu ser melhor que o primeiro trazendo uma narrativa boa cenas engraçadas e comédia pura Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/22 Full Review Kristin M Fav movie of my childhood Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Desmond Ryan Philadelphia Inquirer The kid in Problem Child 2 is so obnoxious that when his divorcing parents engage in a bitter custody dispute, the loser gets to keep him. Rated: 1/4 Jun 5, 2013 Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel [Problem Child 2 may] be the most sheerly repulsive kiddie movie ever filmed. Rated: 1/5 Jun 5, 2013 Full Review Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times Louder and dumber, more preposterous, unfunny and pointless. Jun 5, 2013 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) There's little to say about Problem Child 2, except that it is considerably more problematic than its predecessor. [Full review in Spanish[] Dec 8, 2022 Full Review Sue Heal Radio Times A cinematic disaster zone. Rated: 1/5 May 1, 2014 Full Review Lou Cedrone Baltimore Sun The problem is not so much the child. The problem is the movie, one which is, in its own way, amazing. Why was it made? Who made it? Do they have children? Would they want them to see this thing? Jun 5, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
