Watch Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco For Free

That was an excellent one.

Good concept, poorly executed.

From my favorite movies..

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

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

SPOILERS I very much wanted to see this movie. I really enjoyed the original so I obviously wanted to see how the tale of the classic animals would come to an end. I was not disappointed. I knew as a fact that this would not be as good as the original, and since I gave that a seven, and this was not as good, I am giving this a six. This is still, like the first Homeward Bound, a very strong and fun film for the entire family.Here is the plot of this movie. Our favorite talking animals Shadow, Chance, and Sassy are back after their adventure. It has been three years since their first incredible journey and some things have changed. Jamie, who is Chance's owner, does not play with him as much as he used to. Then the family decides to go to Canada with the animals. Fearing that he is going to the pound, Chance gets off the plane, with Shadow and Sassy, and they have to roam the streets of San Fransico. On the streets they encounter dog-fights, dog gangs, and illegal animal control. With the help of other dogs they defeat the animal control, and Chance falls in love with a dog named Deliliah. In the end the animals are saved by their family, and Deliliah becomes part of it.Overall, this is a good family sequel to a great family movie. It can not top the original, and some moments are corny, but this is a fun and exciting sequel. There are also some emotional scenes, like Chance getting trapped under a truck and the family does not know if he survived until Jamie checks and discovers he is all right. It is just too bad that Don Ameche died before he could reprise his role as Shadow, but Ralph Waite does a good impression of him. Anyway, this is a fine family movie that you can enjoy.6/10 Recommended Films: Homeward Bound, the Incredible Journey.

I might be the only one but I loved the first and second movie equally! I thought it was awesome to see them find their way home threw the wilderness and then threw the city! But some people got upset that the animals didn't explore to much of the city! Go there one day and you'll understand why they didn't! I for one thought it be a bit silly if they were to wander around SF for most of the movie, but thats just me! This movie made me laugh and cry, just as the first one did! I really cried at the scene where everyone thought Chance got hit by the truck! I mean a dog is a man's bf!! I know my dog is!! But I also love the voice actors who 'play' the animals! I believe Fox is an awesome actor/voice actor! I was upset when I heard that the original voice actor for Shadow had passed away, I watched the first movie so often that you can really tell the difference and it just sounds kinda weird!! But all in all its and excellent movie and I know they can't do a third one, cause there's nothing to do it on, its a shame nothing more can be done with the story!

I loved the first Homeward Bound so much, it was one of my favorite childhood films. My friend had the sequel and I guess I was kind of curious where the story would go or end. The first Homeward Bound was so adorable and such a great story, so why not see the second one? It seemed like a great concept and go back to the magic of the first one. While it's not as good as the first one, I warn you, I think this was still a fine family film.The family is going on vacation again, but this time they are taking the pets with. But Jamie and Chance's relationship has changed, where Jamie isn't playing with Chance as often and Sassy teases Chance that he's going back to "the bad place", in the dog world that means "the pound". So, Chance escapes the cage taking him to the plane, Shadow and Sassy follow to help Chance. They end up lost in San Francisco and get their butts saved by other street dogs, Chance also falls for one of those dogs named Delila. But it's street vs. pet and if humans are really worth risking everything for.Like I said, the second Homeward Bound doesn't compare to the original and the plot is extremely similar, but I think over all that it worked very well for the kids. The whole family will enjoy the film, it has positive energy and fun jokes that anyone could enjoy if they don't have an attitude problem. So, give the second Homeward Bound a chance, you may just like it.6/10
