Amusing even if the law of diminishing returns is starting to kick in.

A feeble sequel.

In the limbo of comedy, few can go lower than Zucker without visibly straining.

A nifty, crisp package, but not quite up to the standards of the original picture. A dildo drill can't solve every problem.

Raunchy, dated send-up of cop movies has lots of sex.

Nielsen combines B-movie earnestness, exuberant mugging, and a trouper's slightly desperate cheerfulness: he turns this rather alarming character into a sweet, ebullient lunatic -- albeit one who's hell on innocent bystanders.

What's at work here is the comedy law of diminishing returns: if you tell the same jokes over and over and over again, they become less and less and less funny.

The opening and closing credits alone are almost worth the price of admission.
January 11, 2008
Not quite as fresh as the first.

The enthusiastic Zucker, Zucker & Abrahams style of movie parody is too rarely seen to prompt much head-shaking about gags that don't work.
