54 years after the original we get the sequel that was worth it. The movie is about Michael Banks the son from the first movie now working for the same bank as his dad. The problem is that he owes the bank money and has a few days before he is kicked out of his home with his kids (Annabel, John, Georgie) and his sister Jane.
