In Stakeout, cop Richard Dreyfuss fell in love with Madeline Stowe, the woman he and his partner Emilio Estevez were watching during a police stakeout. Stowe’s back in Another Stakeout, but her part is fleeting and unbilled. On the other hand, we get plenty of Dreyfuss and Estevez, still both as cantankerous and obnoxious as ever. This time, our two heroes are in search of a Mafia witness who has disappeared after an attempt on her life. While holed up in a judge’s mansion, staking out the apartment where the woman may or may not return, the pair are subject to the comic aggravation of DA’s assistant Rosie O’Donnell, who’s brought her “darling” little rotweiler along for company. Another Stakeout works a little harder for its laughs than its predecessor; the best scenes go to Ms. O’Donnell and to nonplussed supporting players Dennis Farina and Marcia Strassman.
