Score: 5/10
Just when it was safe, He's Back... Junior. Red hair and all. The dynamic duo of Junior (Michael Oliver) and Little Ben (John Ritter) take the mischief to the divorcee capital of the world... Mortville. Little Ben has found business success and women are flocking to his door to be with him. Junior is at a new school and not making any friends. Plus, Big Ben (Jack Warden) comes to live with the duo, due to the havoc that Junior brought to him. Trouble begins for Junior. He has competition with a little girl, Trixie (Ivyann Schwan) whose antics bring shame to her mother, Annie (Amy Yasbeck) the school nurse. Little Ben finds camaraderie with Annie and their shared interest.... devious kids. Trixie and Junior battle each other with fireworks, twisty rides at the carnival, a fire hose, etc. Similar jokes and gags to the first. Ultimately Junior and Trixie have a fondness to bring their parents together, except an evil witch, Lawanda (Laraine Newman), has her grasp on Little Ben. Big Ben pushes Little Ben into the relationship to Lawanda because Ben wants Junior to have a mother. Now only the power of the "love rock" can break up the wedding.
Its fun to watch the antics unfold in the film. It takes it up notch with the personal grossness, extreme vomiting can only go so far, plus there is another moment that really makes me cringe. The first film edged out a better rating from me because I found the first has better repeat viewing qualities. Check em' both out. It worth the time, back to back preferably.
