I can't really decide if I liked this sequel more or less than the original. Though the straight forward comedic style was identical, they didn't exactly follow the earlier blueprint. Where the predecessor mostly stuck to spoofing one film, here there were a wide range of things parodied. More ambition did generate more laughs but it also produced more misses. And those misses really stood out. Luckily, nothing ever lingers in these films and it moved right along to the next attempt at funny.

For bonus material we got treated to two substandard featurettes which consisted of behind-the-scenes interviews. One, which ran twenty-two minutes was narrated in Spanish and the other was in English and lasted four minutes. There were also trailers for this and other Fox films. No commentary track here.

You gotta love nonsense humor at times and if you're in the right mood, this can surely delight.


The Movie: 5/10
The Extras: 1/10

Recommendation: See It If It's Free
