This film is not as bad as everyone seems to make out! Granted, you do have to look past certain elements, i.e. Rosie O'Donnell (the movie-killer) and the lack of a hugely complex story-line. But after watching the first film you should know that that is not exactly what you're going to get.
What you do know you're going to get however is a performance by one of the most under-rated double-acts in cinema history. Dreyfuss & Estevez deliver solid gold comedy throughout with impeccable timing, (it really is faultless!). There are so many one-liners and brilliant comedy scenes in this film not only provided by the dynamic duo, but casting Dennis Farina was also a master-stroke.
I love the way that Badham in both films, manages to inter-weave the comedy with what looks from the outset to be a serious action drama.
As comedy-lovers we have to look past the weaker parts of the film and concentrate on the fact that the comedy aspect of this film is brilliant if not slightly under-used!
score 10/10
