I loved it!!
28 March 2005
I loved this movie. I don't care what others say, I think this is a fantastic movie. Sure, it may not be as good as the original, but tell me, how many sequels are really as good as the original?? The originals are always the best, because they set the scene for everything, they introduce everything, and in comedies, are actually normally a lot funnier than the sequels. In action movies, they normally have more action in them, take Bourne Identity for example, excellent movie, sequel was alright but not as good, there was less action and more talking! Matthew Perry did fall over a bit too much though. In one movie you can only fall over or crash into stuff so many times, but in this movie that may have been overused. But what matters is the comedy that is in this movie, even if some people don't see it or understand it. The mere fact that Jimmy is wearing an apron and head scarf is hilarious! Just because he's constantly pulling gun on Jill doesn't mean the movie has no story, it just shows that Jimmy is still a tough hitter as he was when when he wasn't "dead".

The thing that I find annoying is that they make it so that Oz has no idea what's going on- again!! It's like he shouldn't even be married to Cynthia 'cause he never has any idea what she's talking about when she's talking to Jimmy and/or Jill. Also, what's with Yanni's father being Jimmy's dad as well?! What's up with that? I mean, sure, it kinda fits, what with Jimmy's occupation and attitude, but wasn't it him and Yanni who were trying to kill him?! And, don't the mafia classify their family as the most important thing to them apart from themselves and certain other members of the mafia??

The cast still work together terrifically, and together make it a great movie. The original is still way better than the sequel, but like I've already said, what original isn't better than a sequel?! I don't care what others think, I reckon that this movie is terrific and I would totally recommend it to anyone who's not sure about whether or not to see it.
