I should have stayed home and fininshed watching Amercian Idol. IMO, this was the same story re-written to capitilize on the success of the orginal, which is, after all, what most sequels do. I will give it the fact that it does have a somewhat decent message but I doubt that many who attend will even get the message. Or maybe I didn't actually 'get it'. I like Ice Cube, Cedric, and Queen Latifah, but something was lacking in this picture. I guess I was looking for the same abrupt humor found in the first. In some instances, it was there, but for the most part, it was simply a little boring. This flick ranks as a rent-it-on-DVD-if-you-must. 2.5 outta 5.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

The little comic relief in the first made it kinda cool.. But there wasn't any in this one... Queen Latifah always seems to add more to any movie she appears in I kinda liked the little flash backs but other than that it wasn't much better than the first. 6.5/10  |  IP: Logged
