Same cast (Raul Julia's last film; he died aged 54, cancer), same director, same composer, but virtually everything behind the camera has changed. The cameraman is Donald Peterman, who weirdly lights the top of of Anjelica's face, like this:
Strange. The production designer is now Ken Adam, thus the house has changed. The writer is now Paul Rudnick, though the humour remains largely the same (babysitter / killer Joan Cusack on meeting Julia "Lady killer." Julia "Case not proven.")
Christina Ricci gets more to do in this one as the kids are sent away to summer camp, where they naturally upset Peter MacNicol (Ally McBeal) and Christine Baranski (The Good Fight). Good here at taking the piss out of elitist girl snobs, and even the Thanksgiving tradition. David Krumholz is a fellow camper; Nathan Lane and Tony Shaloub both appear fleetingly. Actually Granny has changed too - she's now Carol Kane.
