Not overly original but a lot of fun to watch. The three leads do a good job, Zuckerman and Duke especially, but Seth Green and most of all James Marsden steal the show! Marsden is hilarious as the obnoxious older brother. Definitely worth...

Not so very good. A bit muddled in fact. Some beautiful shots and imagery and overall, decent acting (though not impressed with Jaden Smith), are let down by a storyline that just doesn't live up to the expectations. It tries very hard, too hard,...

With names like Meg Ryan and Antonio Banderas, I expected something more, something original. This isn't a bad movie, it's just a bit predictable. A romcom for a very rainy day...

Typical de Coteau fare, lots of camera shots lingering over young male bodies. Enjoyable if you're into that. Basically it's gay very soft porn with very little story and almost non-existent acting skills. However, this is not his worst movie that...

Rather juvenile movie that's still appealing to a wider audience who just want to enjoy themselves. Don't expect an Oscar-worthy script but be ready to be entertained by good performances from the actors involved as well as a perfectly adequate...

Although not as good as the original, I think, this was still a great movie with fabulous graphics, good acting overall and it just looked fantastic. The storyline could have been improved a bit, as it all seemed too straight-forward. However, I...

Better than the first one and I was surprised that they told the initial parts of the story so quickly. Really liked the inclusion of the name of Rick Jones as one of Banner's associates, though an appearance would have been better. Norton was...

You don't normally associate Jodie Foster with comedy, but she's fine in this, as is Gerard Butler. I thought it was an enjoyable movie, with good performances by the actors who were let down by the script. The story just didn't amount to much,...

OK, I guess, but sorely lacking the charm and comedy of the first one. Don't know why they waited this long to make a sequel and still manage to come up with a disappointment. The actors were OK, the biggest let-down is the script.

When reviewing this movie as a whole, it's bad, very bad. Having said that, some of the individual scenes/spoof are fun but only because of the flash of recognition of the original movie. The script seems non-existent and it's merely a more or...
