Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) returns in this sequal to the 1985 smash Back to the Future.
Though four years have elapsed since the original, little has changed in the movie, and in fact it starts right where the first one left off – in the driveway of Marty’s house, right after Doc (Christopher Lloyd) has dropped him off after their adventures in time.
The only major difference is that Jennifer, Marty’s girlfriend, is no longer played by Claudia Wells – instead, Elisabeth Shue takes over.
Other than that, it’s pretty much business as usual – except that Doc has returned from the future, and he’s got some bad news. It seems that Marty’s kids (and Jennifer’s – they are married in the future) are getting into trouble, and they need to make sure that they can save them. Thus begins the second episode of the trilogy. What happens when they get there sets the stage not only for this installment, but the next one as well.

Like Dennis the Menace, this movie won’t win many awards – but it is a pretty decent family flick. The only problem it has in that regard, in fact, is one scatalogical expletive (a fairly funny one, but still).
Beyond that, the plot is simple. Jason Alexander is the manager of a five-star hotel in New York, and his two kids live there with him. They are naturally hard at work trying to make his life miserable and he is hard at work trying to keep the hotel up-to-snuff for its high-falutin’ guests.
