(This review may contain spoilers).
I didn’t actually see the previous film, but I thought it would be an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. I nearly changed my mind, though when faced with getting up after a few hours’ sleep.
This probably isn’t a film I’d watch again. It was entertaining and amusing in parts, though very crude in others. But I think this is the kind of film that’s only entertaining for me to watch the first time round.
I saw Channing Tatum originally in She’s The Man. Although I do like him as an actor, I felt his dialogue came across as a little too stilted at times. Plus, although slightly dumb characters can be amusing if portrayed well, I felt it was really over the top here.
There were other recognisable actors in this film, but I felt at least one of them was just playing the same type of character I’d seen before.
A lot of the humour in this film was really crude. Again, if it’s used in small doses, it can be really effective. In my opinion, that wasn’t the case here.
I did think a lot of the banter between the characters worked really well and that was what drew more laughs from me. There were some really cool visual effects in the film, too.
If you like this sort of humour (and the first film) you’ll probably like this. There is also an extra scene right at the end of the credits, so if you do watch this, make sure you stay right through to the end,
