Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

alexanderdavies-99382 Nothing about this sequel works at all. The script is devoid of any kind of wit and the story is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Even with a short running time, the pace just drags along and boredom soon sets in. G.W Bailey is sorely missed but it's good to see some of the old gang here. Give this one a miss

TheLittleSongbird The original 'Police Academy' was a good and very entertaining film, it wasn't great and will never be one of my favourite comedies or overall films, but it clearly knew what it wanted to be so it was easy to take it for what it was and what it set out to do.None of the sequels are up to the same level as the original 'Police Academy', most of them actually being pretty bad or worse and lose what was enjoyable about the original in the first place. 'Police Academy 2' is one of the better sequels by quite some way and one of the just about tolerable ones. Sadly however the drop in quality from the first is quite significant which is what makes it nowhere near as good.'Police Academy 2' is not without its strengths. The cast mostly do well with what they have. Steve Guttenberg is fun and amiable, and there is enthusiastic support from particularly Michael Winslow, George Gaynes and Bubba Smith. Bobcat Goldthwait's performance is not easy to forget, he gives it his all and while it is a long way from a subtle performance (Goldthwait has never been known for subtlety) he's fun.While the laughs are too far and between, there are a few funny lines and a couple of scenes that work. The highlight is the shampoo/superglue scene, which is actually pretty hilarious and one of the series' funniest moments. The Bruce Lee imitation is also priceless. The score is catchy and infectious as ever.Howard Hesseman clearly looks embarrassed however, and no wonder, and Marion Ramsey is let down by that she has little to do and the writers didn't know what to do with her.Admittedly, there were a few times where the original 'Police Academy' had a few miss moments, the second film has only a few moments that work and the rest misfire. This is due to being poorly timed, feeling laboured and with some abrupt shifts from one to another, parts that are more grossly crude than anything remotely amusing and too much of it has a style of humour that feels far too toned down, which makes the film feel leaden and bland.Production values look rushed, like there were severe time and budget constraints, while what little there is of the story (most of it close to non-existent rather than thin) is an incredibly lazy-feeling replay. There is also a completely redundant and pointless subplot in the final third that really should have been left on the editing room floor. Most of the script takes the dumbness way too far and some of it is pretty puerile. The direction is as barely there as the story.In summary, a disappointment compared to the previous film but better than what would come later. 4/10 Bethany Cox

WakenPayne So I saw the first Police Academy a few nights ago and naturally I wanted to see the sequel. How they could mess things up this badly says a lot about the other sequels.Basically the plot is that six of the characters we know and love from the first Police Academy movie are now on their first assignment - to stop a gang of hooligans that like to scream every last line of dialogue. While this is happening someone tries to replace Lieutenant Harris as the guy fans of the original love to hate, this time we just hate him as he tries to go for the job of inspector.Now my one big problem with this is that these people go into situations that last the entire movie that are just so... BORING. Do we really care about Tackleberry and his first love(who's just like him)? Are we really supposed to give a crap about any of these new characters who are just there to try and either imitate the first one or just being really boring.Now there are compliments - this movie does amuse me in places - but most of the time it's just smirks here and there. All of these parts I could count with my hands. Also unlike other bad sequels this one is just over 80 minutes long. I won't watch 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 (are there more?) because from what I've heard they get worse and worse, not only that but it seems to me like they just wanted to make a sequel in hopes of just making more money and nothing else. I will only watch the first one again and that's it.

FlashCallahan The part of the city which has the highest crime rate is under the care of Captain Pete Lassard, the chief demands that he turn things around or he is out.He in turn calls his brother, Eric, the academy commandant, and requests some new people.He recommends recent graduates, Mahoney, Hightower, Jones, Tackleberry, Fackler, and Hooks.Now they are teamed up with some veteran officers, who are not exactly competent, and along with their inexperience they cause more trouble than the gang they are pursuing.And they also have to deal with Lieutenant Mauser, who wants them to fail, so that he could become the new Captain....It's amazing how many sequels this film garnered, each with questionable quality. The second installment is just okay, and it feels more like a string of sketches rather than a full movie.My problem with this series is Mahoney, the character really irritates me, and I find smaller characters, who are not in the film for long, more endearing than someone with a face that you'd like to slap.Goldthwaite is the main draw here as Zed, and the makers knew this, he came back two more times.There are a few good laughs, but it isn't anything special.
