Reviews

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
lisafordeay Homeward Bound II is a sequel to the 1993 film on the same name about 2 dogs and a cat who go missing in a Home Alone style scenario and have to try and find there way back home. This time the family and the 2 dogs and the cat Sassy are off to Canada but one of the dogs(voiced by Micheal J Fox called Chance)ends up freaking out and Shadow(Ralph White) and Sassy(Sally Fields) also free themselves from the cages they were in and end up getting lost in San Francisco. Of course Chance ends up falling for Deliah later on in the movie and two men who are up to no good are after the dogs. So will they or won't they get back home in time to be reunited with their families again?Overall I really enjoyed this movie and I was glad I came across it in HMV this year for a bargain. If I see the original sometime out on DVD I will definitely be buying it too. The voice cast is great,the story is nice and the backgrounds are nice too. Its nice that the dogs mouths aren't moving like in Marmalade or that god awful Beverly Hills Chihuahua.7/10
Mightyzebra Lacking the beauty, charm and teamwork of the original film (the remake) this sequel makes up in adventure and romance! This one is probably slightly funnier, with another good adventure and almost as much proof as the last one that dogs really are man's best friend.However, this sequel has its flaws, as in things about the film that don't completely make sense if you have watched the first film. For example, in the first film Chance learnt how to be a faithful and kind dog to Jamie, but in this it seem's he's even sillier. Another one of these flaws is that he explains in the first film that he lived on the streets and now Shadow is talking about how he can't live on the streets and he doesn't know how to. WHAT!? Otherwise, an incredibly good sequel, with romance, adventure and charm, but just doesn't have the emotion that made the original film so special and captivating.Chance's, Sassy's and Shadow's owners are going on a camping trip and taking the dogs with them. However, Chance, like in the last film, becomes incredibly confused with the situation and escapes out of his dog box before all three of them are loaded onto the plane. That means they are lost in San Francisco, while the humans go off without them! What can they do?Recommended to people who liked the first film, people who were disappointed that there was no romance in the first film and just people who like dogs!Enjoy "Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco"!
abrafocus I'm being kind by giving this movie a six. Ralph Waite did the voice of Shadow. He's pretty good, though not as good as Don Ameche, who died in 1993. He couldn't do the voice of Shadow if he were dead, right?Delilah is a street dog that Chance meets. Voiced by Carla Gugino, I don't think she was very necessary. Chance seems to like her, though.Eventually, the Seaver's find their pets, but through a near-fatal way. Chance is crossing a highway, and is very nearly run over. The Sever's van just happens to be driving down that same road, and they think he did get run over.There's little humor in this movie, and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone, unless you have nothing better to do.My Score: 6/10.
Ben (a_barret_oliver_fan) 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
