Did you like the first one?

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2004)

Because if you didn't, you'll like this one even less. While the dialog is not quite as spontaneous as the original, this is still a VERY worthy successor to a movie nearly all it's fans thought should NEVER have a sequel. The characters aren't quite a genuine as they were in the first film, but that's one of the things that keeps it so real. If these two characters were less cynical and more open like their 1995 counterparts, it just wouldn't be believable.
This isn't a film for the masses. A fiend of mine in her early 30's watched the original on DVD the night before we saw this one at SXSW, and she thought the sequel superior, but after considering them both, said that had she still been in her mid 20's, she probably would have enjoyed the original more. It speaks to a certain age of viewer with a certain level of intelligence and maturity. Most other people just won't get it, and will think it's a waste of time. That's ok though, there are worse ways to spend 90 minutes.
