Forgettable, luckily, 30 June 2008
4/10
Author: Sandcooler from Belgium

It took four installments but they've finally found a sound Michael Winslow can't mimic. His imitation of a thunderous applause is awful at best. The movie itself well, not that great either, the stuff you can expect from a pointless comedy sequel to a not-so-great first one, entertaining though not funny. One annoying thing though is how tired and old Harris has gotten. I mean, we know, he's an implausibly sour guy who always gives everyone a hard time and then falls victim to a prank, and then back to square one. I know the series mostly falls back on worn-out stereotypes, but evolving Harris into a more human character over the years wouldn't have hurt exactly. And even then,if he's really that incompetent (we've never seen him solving even one crime), he would have been fired ages ago. And since when is Proctor a villain by himself? He agrees with Harris, that's all he ever should do. The traditional action set pieces and stuntwork look like they had one hell of a deadline, and the unavoidable love plot is as always annoying underdeveloped filler material. Also contains half a role by Sharon Stone, making me wonder if she was a total bitch back then too. Still better than 3, which means nothing at all.
