In this sequel to director John Badham's STAKEOUT, Seattle detectives Chris Lecce (Richard Dreyfuss) and Bill Reimers (Emilio Estevez) are assigned another stakeout operation. When Lu Delano (Cathy Moriarty), an important witness against the mafia mysteriously disappears, the district attorney's office comes up with an elaborate scheme to recover her. Thought to be hiding out with the O'Haras, a local family on a Pacific Northwest island, Lecce and Reimers are assigned to watch over the household. However, they are joined on their stakeout by a new supervisor, federal prosecutor Gina Garret (Rosie O'Donnell) and her "loveable" rottweiler Archie. Posing as an all-American family, Lecce, Reimers, and Garrett move in next door to the O'Haras in a hysterical battle of the wills. Mayhem ensues as the trio attempt to keep their operation a secret and stay one-step ahead of the mafia.

Academy Award(R)-winner Richard Dreyfuss (Best Actor, THE GOODBYE GIRL, 1977; MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS) and Emilio Estevez (STAKEOUT, YOUNG GUNS, THE MIGHTY DUCKS) are back as hilarious, hard-charging Seattle detectives -- this time forced to go undercover with an inexperienced Assistant D.A. (comedian Rosie O'Donnell -- A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE). With Dreyfuss and O'Donnell posing as husband and wife, and Estevez charading as their grown son, chaos and calamity prevail as they spy on neighbors suspected of hiding an escaped Mafia witness on the run from the feds and a mob hit man! This crowd-pleasing favorite delivers edge-of-your-seat excitement and nonstop laughs -- you'll love it!
