Problem Child 2
1991, PG-13, 91 min.
Directed by Brian Levant, Narrated by , Voices by , Starring John Ritter, Michael Oliver, Laraine Newman, Amy Yasbeck, Jack Warden, Gilbert Gottfried, Charlene Tilton.

Not even a good spanking could reform the obnoxiously undisciplined Problem Child 2, easily the worst film so far this year. As played by Oliver and Yasbeck, these two tykes give new meaning to the term “Brat Pack.” Early in his career, Ritter revealed a glint of talent, but it has since then vanished. But how he could consent to appear in this slapped-together claptrap is beyond comprehension, even for a guy who starred in TV’s Three’s Company.
