I watched it last night. It was OK, not awful like some have said. Weird to see Wesley Snipes playing a goofy character. Eddie Murphy's multiple characters are still fun, especially the old Jewish guy in the barbershop and as Randy Watson. That boy's good! [Reply]

Does it get any better in the 2nd half? I'm guessing no.
Thankfully we have "dolemite is my name" from a couple years ago, that movie was hilarious and proves Eddie murphy CAN still be funny :-)

You didn't think his character in Demolition Man was a bit goofy? [Reply]

Dumb n Dumber 2 was awful
Super Troopers 2 was awful
The Hangover sequels were awful
I dunno...w/ comedies, there just isn't that orig shock factor with the characters into a 2nd installment. JMO...if this is really going down, I don't expect much out of it. Eddie Murphy hasn't been funny in 30yrs, and he's too toned down and conservative now. I miss the old 80's Eddie Murphy.

There are a few that are pretty watchable. Wayne's world, American pie 2, Austin Powers. Some of the sequel national lampoons vacations are better than the original. Hot shots part deux is better than the original.
But yeah, great comedy sequels are mostly a unicorn. [Reply]
