Rush Hour 2

This movie insults the intellegence of adults, and makes
kids laugh. My wife and I walked out of the theater with
the feeling of being ripped off, while my 13 year old son
thought it was a funny movie and talked about the fart
jokes. I guess I'm getting old, but I did not like this
movie and I'm sure I wouldn't have if I was 13. The bad
acting by Eddie Murphy was only slightly eclipsed by the
circus bear or the mafia beaver. I also noticed that when
the animals spoke, their mouths didn't always match the
words.
Realism in a talking lizard isn't a sticking point for me,
but it does show that this was a poorly made movie that
seemed to be cranked out for the summer season.

I didn't think it was that bad. Norm McDonald was good
again as Lucky. Lisa Kudrow was good as Ava. The bathroom
scene with the bear seemed to be an after thought, but I
didn't get grossed out over too much bathroom humor. These
are animals after all, wolves mark their territory...

One word: crap. If I had to use two words, I would say
crap twice.
