A Pleasing Sequel 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2002)

This film never assaults and never pretends to be anything more then it is: A cash cow for families who want to kill 88 minutes; families who want to laugh and be transported to a completely bizarre, and at times morbid world. Sure the film is reminiscent of the first, but it also feels sharper. There are obvious reasons why I might favor the sequel. The worm guys are in it more. A super sexy villainess. Men in Black 2 has a few better gags, (the locker scene in this film is much funnier then the baby delivery in the first). And of course, who can deny the comedic genius that is Rip Torn? Here he is given much better lines.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this film.
