Take in the matinee or rent the DVD.

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2002)

I'm rather glad I caught the movie during a weekday matinee when it first opened - it is a fun movie, with some good moments, but in the end it really is just a similar plot to the first movie, except that they try to cram too much into the 90 minutes that the movie goes on to allow things to develop. As a result, parts of the plot feel forced... though maybe this could have been fixed by dropping the intro five minute 'video' and making a shorter summary, allowing them to put in a few more minutes of setup.
The short summary is 'Agent K and Agent J go back out to kick some alien ass'. The longer form involves some hints of past and present romances, a bunch of worms, a talking dog who has some good lines, and a few parodies which end up falling flat on their faces as far as being humorous.

If you enjoyed the first movie, you may enjoy the second if your expectations aren't for something newer and better; that it's not. Is it fun? Yes. Is it worth $8.00? I'm not sure on this one - I caught it on a $5 CDN matinee (which ends up being like 50 cents US), and I feel I got my money's worth out of it. Just don't expect parts of the movie to make sense, even if the few cameos are kinda funny if obvious in retrospect.
