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?

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.

If you take the family to see this deplorable excuse for a good time at the movies, then parents deserve what the kids will learn.

[Problem Child 2 may] be the most sheerly repulsive kiddie movie ever filmed.

Louder and dumber, more preposterous, unfunny and pointless.

How exciting can flatulence jokes still be, once you've seen them on cable?

I'm probably getting awfully moralistic, but couldn't the geniuses who devise entertainment for tots have come up with something a bit more, uh, responsible?

I swear this film plays like a sick joke from the screenwriters, who seem to be throwing anything at director Brian Levant, expecting to be reprimanded or refused.

At times this poor version of a sitcom seems written by five-year-olds for five-year-olds, so much so that one suspects its script was fingerpainted.

Bad kids are big business, which is the only explanation for Problem Child 2.
