This movie is a hoot...but not as funny as the first one.

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2004)

There is a reason that this is not as funny as the first one: we expected it to be funnier! It is impossible to overcome the charm of the unknown, but the producers delivered the price of the ticket and a lot more with some good laughs. Of course, the plot and the situations were contrived, but who cares? This is a funny movie and I recommend it highly. One thing you should be aware of before going into this movie is that the emphasis is no longer on the relationship between Greg and his fiancée. The emphasis will be on the families that are interacting. If there is one thing that I would have done differently I would have made absolutely sure that Terry Polo was more of an integral part of this script. She is almost a prop and as solid of an actress as she is, it is almost a crime to waste that type of talent. Mr. Jinx, though, was his usually catty self and the movie rates highly with me personally for its charm and humor.
