You can tell that the folks who made this movie went to film school, because you can't accidentally make a movie this bad. You have to spend time studying movies, learning the history of your craft, no doubt graduating with the Highlander II Award For Sequel Writing, before you can set out to utterly destroy what could have been a great follow-up to an entertaining flick. It takes dedication to search out every single funny thing from the first movie, then line them up and bludgeon them all to death in the sequel. It takes artistry to create so many unfunny characters. It takes sheer genius to persuade Mike Myers to pretend he's having a miserable time, to say nothing of finding a leading lady (Heather Graham) with the acting skill of a pile of coffee grounds. Good God, people, what were you thinking? Uncle Matt clenched his teeth so hard that his lovely wife thought his skull would crack open! And if only it had, letting the memory of this festering pox of a movie escape! If you're the kind of person who thinks it's funny to watch Mike Myers drink a cup of liquid shit, you'll like this movie. If not, Uncle Matt salutes you, and urges you not to waste your money on this wretched refuse. Send it to Uncle Matt instead. About the author: Uncle Matt lives in the third person.
