FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1
While there are some definite laugh-out-loud moments throughout, this film is
not as funny as the original. But it gets kind of close at time.
2
Speaking of
the original, there are plenty of callbacks with lines, actions and characters.
Petey is all grown up and even SeaBass makes an appearance after the credits.
Even the basic storyline is pretty similar. But all are welcome.
3
I found it
interesting that one of the villains, Adele, is played by Laurie Holden (The Walking Dead) who also played Jim
Carrey’s love interest in a sweet film called The Majestic, and was also names Adele.
4
I liked the soundtrack. A few tracks from the first film and great use of
Franz Ferdinand’s “Right Action”.
5
What’s up with the Canadian stereotypes?
RECOMMENDATION: Wait for DVD
