    If Toni Storm is going to keep doing these film tributes, I cannot wait until she gets to Problem Child 2 and crushes someone with a giant love rock. #AEWDynasty

    Can’t believe I just watched John Water’s “Desperate Living” in a crowded 1000 seat theater at the Academy Museum. Despite the great Divine not being in it - DL has always been my favorite Waters movie - Scott and I even named the town in “Problem Child 2” Mortville as a homage.

    In my kids’ elementary school yearbook, the fifth graders each list their favorite movie. One put down Problem Child 2.

    Season 1 will be about the personal life of the movie theater owner who in the season finale has to decide if they will eject a patron for laughing too loudly during a screening of Problem Child 2.

    I have already brought Nothing But Trouble, but another one is Problem Child 2. I don’t remember almost anything about that movie except for an insane vomit scene in a carnival. It was buried deep in my mind, I think I watched it when I was like 4 years old. There are other bizarre visuals on it.

    No modern horror film or atrocity drama has made me feel more viscerally disturbed than Problem Child 2 did when I was 7. Pete & Pete was a warm safe haven from that shit, plus it was actually funny instead of gross/outrageous. It's still the high water mark for sitcoms on Nick by kind of a lot.

    I'm so old I remember when going to the movies there used to be a curtain hanging over the theater screen which was vertically rolled up when the previews started. Sometimes the curtain got stuck, and you could get a refund or just watch the movie like that. That's how I watched Problem Child 2!

    Trivia for “Problem Child 2” (1991) states that the writers indented to make a John Waters film for children and I totally see that. lol 🖤

    It reminds me of when I was a kid and they showed movie violence on TV but censored parts. Yes, they'd change it to burps or remove it. I remember it in Problem Child 2, Blazing Saddles and Jungle 2 Jungle. They censor just to censor.

    Problem Child 2 had an estimated budget of $15 Million dollars ($35 Million today) and the punchline of the whole movie is a dog that goes into a trance for days then comes out and makes 2 of the largest piles of shiny poop you've ever seen and then cuts immediately to an 80s closing credit banger

    The only reason I have any sort of memory of this is an offhand joke in the critically panned movie Problem Child 2. I'm not kidding.

    I got my very conservative aunt to buy me Problem Child 2 sight unseen. As a sheltered church kid I just assumed a movie about a kid was fine.

    On this day in 1991, Problem Child 2 premiered in theaters! It was the 2nd film in the trilogy and wasn't as big as the first but it still doubled the budget with $32.7 million. It didn't have the best reviews yet still stars the great John Ritter and now it celebrates 35 years! #ProblemChild2 #90s

    The only movies that play in Hell are Problem Child 2 (1991) at max volume, To Boldy Flee (2012) w/ all deleted scenes added back in and that Baywatch movie from 2017 with the Rock you forgot they made.

    #RIP #JamesTolkan, the unforgettable star of Wargames, He-Man, Amityville Horror, Robo Warriors and Problem Child 2. May he finally grow out some hair in Actors' Heaven. (Oh, and he was also in some time travel kids movie, I think.)

    In the early 90’s I was an intern at the North Texas Film Commission and I took a call from Gilbert Gottfried letting us know he would not be attending the Dallas Premiere of Problem Child 2. He didn’t sound anything like Gilbert Gottfried.

    Never had one. The only movie I can say I've actively disiked in my 49 years of existence was 'Problem Child 2'. For somebody, though, it may be a key childhood memory. Movies are beautiful. Each has it's value. Just maybe not for you.
