I saw this flick Saturday night at a bar/movie theater in Seattle where you can have waitresses serve you fancy cocktails at regular intervals during the film, and I must say, that’s really the only way to go with this lame, lame sequel. After my third drink, I almost stopped caring that it was painfully unfunny! Alcohol! It’s like MAGIC the way it works sometimes!
Still love the characters, and it’s not like the movie is completely without laughs, but it would’ve been a lot more entertaining just to stay home and drink while popping the first one into the DVD player instead (my recommendation to you, sirs and madams).
Lame story; half-assed jokes mostly consisting of references to jokes from the first movie; a chain-smoking monkey, which is among the cheapest of cheap gags; a heavy focus on anti-homosexual humor that started to make me feel decidedly uncomfortable; and, well, hey, can someone go get me another Bogart (gin, cointreau, lemon-lime, and sage)? I feel the urge to drink to forget.
AVOID LIKE PLAGUE.

I saw an interview with Bradley Cooper and he completely admitted with pride that since part 1 did so well that they decided to make part 2 the exact same but in a different country. How f’n lame is that. They couldn’t even come up w/a new concept.
