If it all seems a bit dizzying, it is, but there's plenty to enjoy. Read full review

Actually funnier than the first movie, but getting to those parts requires a little bit of patient mental fast-forwarding.

Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
The repulsive turn of events erased all my good memories of the first half, and makes the movie hard to recommend to a normal human being. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt
The satire is crammed with sexual and scatological humor; some may find this Rabelaisian and refreshing, while others will detect the end of civilization as we know it. Read full review

Would be too long even if it were twice as funny. And that about sums up the movie. Read full review
