Nice effects though.

just watch it!

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco (1996): Dir: David R. Ellis / Cast: Robert Hays, Kim Griest, Kevin Chevalia, Veronica Lauren, Benj Thall: Sequel to Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey that is basically the same film set in new locations. Witless plot has two dogs and a cat on a journey from San Francisco. They are involved in dog fights, avoid dogcatchers, and save a cat from a burning building. Logic goes out the window once the dogs band together against dogcatchers. Lame family film idiocy with a retread plot and horrible directing by David R. Ellis. He basically repackages the same film with a new title and even dumber circumstances. Robert Hays was in Airplane and Kim Griest was in Brazil. Together they are given absolutely nothing to work with as the animal owners. Considering that they both had at least one decent film on the resume, they should not have been punished with this one. On the bright side they can always use their superior films to focus attention and try to forget they were ever in this shat stain family film. Also having their time wasted in this travesty are Kevin Chevalia and Veronica Laruren who play the children who seem to have read the manual on how to act like the typical kid in bad Hollywood movies. Pining on the success of the first film, this film should be tossed to the dogs to be chewed to bits and resulted in that mess in the front yard. Score: 1 / 10

Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco is a very good film that has a good cast which includes Michael J. Fox, Sally Field, Sinbad, Stephen Tobolowsky, Veronica Lauren, Jon Polito, Adam Goldberg, Kevin Chevalia, Robert Hays, Kim Greist, Ralph Waite, Benj Thall, Kristina Lewis, Al Michaels, Nathaniel DeVeaux, and Bob Uecker! The acting by all of these actors is very good. The thrills is really good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed very good. The music is good. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Michael J. Fox, Sally Field, Sinbad, Stephen Tobolowsky, Veronica Lauren, Jon Polito, the rest of the cast in the film, Adventure, Drama, Family, Comedy and interesting Animal films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!

Do see this film! Its a very funny and enjoyable film. Chance Shadow and Jessie are back plus new pooches Brilient film I am positive that the other reviewer was getting this film mixed up with something else

This time around, those three beloved pets Chance, Sassy, and Shadow are preparing for a vacation with their human owners. Unfortunately, the pets get stranded at the airport and find themselves running wild all over the city of San Francisco, befriending—as well as making enemies with—street dogs who distrust humans, eluding greedy dogcatchers, and trying desperately to make it home safely to their owners. Amusing and well-intended, this sequel has lots more vocal talents, hilarious wisecracks, and impressive Bay area scenery, but the story is strained and lacks the heart, joy, and sheer entertainment value of its predecessor. **½
