Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

laurelcoleman City Slickers 2 is a western comedy and that in itself should make you want to see it. How many films are there in this sub genre? But the casual happy go lucky performances from Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern and Jon Lovitz make this a winner all the way. Though nowhere as good as the original City Slickers is a great diversion from the chaotic world of today. Get lost in the Texan sun and early 90s charm.

SnoopyStyle It's one year later and Mitch Robbins (Billy Crystal) is approaching his 40th birthday. He is content as the manager of the NYC radio station and happy living in the country with his family. His friend Phil Berquist (Daniel Stern) working under him is so depressed that he's considering a return to Arlene. His irresponsible brother Glen (Jon Lovitz) has come to town. While with his wife Barbara (Patricia Wettig), he discovers a treasure map in Curly's hat. He finds a story of a train robbery with missing gold worth about a million dollars. The three men go to Vegas and set off for a few days on their treasure hunt. Mitch has been haunted by Curly's presence which turns out to be Curly's twin Duke Washburn (Jack Palance).This is so desperate to repeat the original that Palance returns as his own twin. I don't blame the movie for Bruno Kirby going missing. Who knows what the dispute was. Replacing him with Jon Lovitz feels forced which only adds to the manufactured nature of the story. I don't know if there was a time constraint but it seems to be a great opportunity for Mitch to take his wife on the journey together. If City Slicker is about a mid-life crisis, City Slicker 2 could be about some sort of family crisis. At least, that would have been moving the franchise forward. This movie has lost the chemistry and therefore lost the comedy.

blanche-2 Following up on the tremendous success of City Slickers in 1991, City Slickers II was released in 1994. It made about a third of the money that CS I did.The film starts with a Mitch (Billy Crystal) dreaming about Curly (Jack Palance) coming out of his grave; Mitch wakes up a wreck that Curly was buried alive. He shakes himself out of it. It's his 40th birthday, and we can see that his life has changed and he's much happier as he jogs in the morning with Norman, the steer he saved.It's a rocky day at the station. He has gotten Phil (Daniel Stern) a job there, but it's not working out and he's afraid he will have to fire him. Phil is down because of his divorce, so Mitch invites him to the house. On the train home, Mitch could swear that he sees Curly.When he gets home, he sees that his lower brother Glen (Jon Lovitz) is there. Looking forward to a romantic evening with his wife (Patricia Wettig), Mitch ultimately sends Glen off with Phil. Later, he goes through the things he still has of Curly's and finds a treasure map.Before you know it, Mitch, Glen, and Phil are out looking for the treasure, eventually getting help from Curly's twin brother Duke. Like Mitch's own brother Glen, Duke was the black sheep of his family.Funny film with Lovitz and Crystal in fine form, and another good performance by Palance. Lots of good one-liners and amusing premises, along with some pathos. Thanks to the actors, the film retained the warmth of the first movie with likable characters.Enjoyable, if not as good as the first.

tbonefreak Okay, I may not be the best sequel to a comedy, but at least there were funnier jokes in this one than the original. Don't get me wrong, I really like the first movie and I own it, but watching it again and noticing the jokes in it, pretty much it was all bitching and complaining about their sex lives and their mid life criss-es. And Bruno Kirby is a funny guy, but his character Ed wouldn't stop convincing Mitch to do all these crazy things and asking him ridiculous questions like the woman in the rocket ship and the Kellogs super pack. Pretty much the funniest one (and most unfortunate one) is probably Phil (Daniel Stern). ARLENE: YOU'RE CRAZY! PHIL: THAT'S RIGHT! NOT HAVING SEX FOR 12 YEARS WILL DO THAT TO A PERSON! hilarious, brilliantly hilarious.However, in this movie, the jokes were very well thought, well expressed and sarcastic and frank at the same time. That to me is impressing. GLEN: Hey guys! How do you think those two laughing idiots we rented all this stuff from are going to feel when we bring home all that gold? MITCH: Yeah, the looks on those tobacco chewin', gun rack having, chicken screwin', sister marryin', abandoned bathroom in the front yard leaving, vitamin deficientcied ugly faces! That has to be the best description of two dumbass hicks. There are tons of other jokes in this movie that wish I could recite. I do admit that I was disappointed in a lot of the characters or some recognizable cast were in only in the movie for a very short period of time but thats about it. Anway thats pretty much all I can say about that.
