Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco

Yo I'm rap master Chance and I'm lost in the city/ with an optimistic dog and a sarcastic kitty.

Fairly dumb sequel in the Home Alone 2 “wow, this really specific scenario happened again” tradition. Really misses Don Ameche’s voice from the first one. Also missing any real moments of genuine threat or tension. Animal training isn’t as sharp either; when the mean “bad guy” dogs are threatening Shadow and Sassy it just looks like pairs of relaxed animals standing across from each other chillin’.

What the fuck happened to Shadow!?

I know a dog who knows a dog who's related to dog in this film... true story.

people complaining about this movie = lol

This destroyed my childhood. Shadow was clearly a different dog, and the whole romance aspect of it, from what I remember, completely disgusted me.

And it turned out Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993) had a sequel, so we watched that one too. More of the same. Less of the family, more of the animals. Except this time the journey doesn't feel as focused, and instead a random set of ideas for the obligatory lesser follow-up.

Honestly, as someone who's watching these 25+ years on without nostalgia because of my kids, this isn't much worse than the first.

Loved this as a kid just as much as the first.

rvw. this was my fav as a kid cuz the romance. i think the main worse thing is the writing isnt as funny. but i love reilly's gang and delilah. the goon dogs cool. catchers meh. was 84 oct 2018. jan 2021 90- cuz back to loving romance+chance lol and the villain dogs and catchers. watched it 1st and shouldnt.

Well, my kids liked it just as much as the first one, but this sequel is...not great. It has very little of the charm that the first movie had. The human villains were dumb characters and no movie needs a dog love triangle plot. My 9-year-old could tell Shadow was voiced by a different actor.

C+

The little I remember of this is a boring retread of the original with a pointless love story tacked on.

I almost died between rolling my eyes so far back into my head as to risk an aneurysm and having my chest constrict watching the terrible child actors. This movie is clearly not for me, I'm not big on either kids movies or dog romance (I turned off Lady and the Tramp, thankfully my son was disinterested.) The boy however would give "the talking dog movie" 5 stars, particularly because it has a firetruck in it

Same basic story line as "Lady and the Tramp 2". IMHO, the animated one plays out a little better.

an unfortunate sequel.

They really didn't try as hard with this one.

I really liked this one too

Oh, god, NOOoooooooooo

Fluffy (yet).

Did I watch this?

As cute as the first movie was, it didn't need a shitty sequel. Or any sequel. Ever.

What happened to Shadow? He used to be great and the only watchable aspect of the first film.

These have got to be the shittiest pets ever.

Cute in a yeuch! kinda way. Nice kiddie movie
