Contains Spoilers (but what do you care you saw it all in the previews anyway)

Rating: 2/10 (10 July 2002)

I'm not going to say much as most of it's already been said. But I utterly hated it. It is high-budget lazy film making filled with lazy comedy at it's worst. As is the Hollywood custom they rip off everything that 'worked' in the first one and do it all again. Hey the test audiences liked the dog! Let's put more of him in. They liked the guy with the exploding head. Let's explode his head three times for triple the laughs!
And not content with ripping themselves off, in a Central Station locker sequence, they rip off Toy Story with the Aliens chanting for the claw.
If I can say anything nice it's that Tommy-Lee Jones was not entirely unlikable. Some feat considering how flat the script was.
AND ONE FINAL NOTE TO THE Hollywood PREVIEW/TRAILER MAKERS : Every time I see one of your 'money' shots (special effects) in a preview is one less time I have to go to the theater to see it again.
Perhaps I should write in terms they'll understand - Show me the movie in the preview and I'll only pay to see it once, if at all.
They are supposed to be Previews NOT SUMMARIES.
But hey you've gotta do what you can to get people into to see this rubbish. So carry on.
