Reviews

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
