This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of the worst sequels I have seen. I seen lifetime movies better than this crap. and that says it all lol very unnecessary sequel. It's a insult to the first one. It was lucky that this film didn't hurt Mila Kunis acting career. Please don't watch this film. It's bad as hell. The ending was so predictable

At the age of 12, Rachael (Mila Kunis) is held captive by Patrick Bateman along with her babysitter. She manages to escape leaving behind a dead Patrick. She doesn't tell anybody and becomes fascinated with psycho killers. Six years later, she's an ace student eagerly attending professor Starkman (William Shatner)'s class. She is pushing to be the new class assistant and on the fast track to the FBI. But the school administrator doesn't let freshmen apply. That's before she was murdered by a hooded killer. Brian (Robin Dunne) is a scheming rich boy with poor grades who is underhandedly pushing for the same job.Mary Harron is gone. Of course, Christian Bale is nowhere to be seen. That's not all there is to the changes. The tone is all light weight. It feels like Nancy Drew takes up killing. That music just makes everything worst. So one must abandon the original to see this movie for what it is and not what one wants it to be. A serial killing Nancy Drew is not the worst concept. I wish it was done better and without that annoying music. About halfway thru, there is a nice little reveal. It changes the tone temporarily to something better but it changes back. That music and the comical tone just makes this movie feel very cheesy. Even the final reveal which is nice cannot save this.

It's fascinating. I never thought I would actually find a movie so blatantly terrible that I cannot stand even a single scene of it.Firstly: I am a big fan of the original American Psycho - an aspect that makes just how bad this movie is even worse, like a good sequel should of course.It is clear this movie has no idea what it is trying to be.Within the first 2 minutes it manages to portrays a complete disregard for the very point of the previous film - denouncing the psychological concept entirely and opting out of the yuppie satire for poorly exaggerated college melodrama alongside of course a charismatic, mysteriously nonsensical protagonist for an infuriatingly nonsensical protagonist.Attempting to disassociate this film in order to see how it stands alone from the prior would at the very best result in being deemed hilariously bad - or perhaps a very bad attempt at being quirky. I don't mean to overuse the word 'infuriating'; however it is the first things that comes to my mind when considering every aspect of this film.Now unless the characters of this film are failed attempts at satire, they make no sense whatsoever. Especially the protagonist who is so blind that all her motivations and goals seem completely unbelievable and impossible.And the music... by god the music... Where the first film had catchy upbeat tunes to contrast the dark imagery and portray a sense of black humour. The music in American Psycho 2 seems to do the Teen dramedy thing in which it blatantly portrays the characters feelings - in this case however much like the characters, script and direction makes no sense whatsoever.I cannot think of any constructive criticism whatsoever aside from renaming it to not tarnish the name of the original.For those of you who have seen the film: - Imagine the perpetual inner monologue/narrations was cut out entirely. The film would make no sense whatsoever.If I could I would give this film half 0.5/10. The half a point is for Shatner. Poor Shatner...

OK, I feel as though that there could have been a lot more done with the film, but for some odd reason the movie was shot in 20 days, not much room for a true masterpiece to be created in my perspective. A lot of people were critiquing Mila Kunis's acting in the film and how they found her sexy but yet annoying, well she was really young, like 16 or 17 years old I believe she said,but obviously she is given these roles and well respected as an actress for a reason, and she worked the role to the best of her abilities, yet i digress.. the movie picks up at Patrick Bateman's demise, she was supposed to be being watched by her baby sitter, but was tagged along on a horrific evening on which she was luckily able to survive from, but it was to be expected, to kill the little girl would have been cruel and ended the movie very quickly, especially since that is what are plot is based upon. My problem with the film is only this, I understand she only stayed in college due to the fact that she killed the actual Rachel Newman and had taken her identity, and that she eagerly desired to be an FBI agent to bring justice and prevent things such as what happened to her baby sitter from happening again to anyone else and could only further her chances of achieving that goal by becoming the professor's assistant. My question is, was her character equally demented as Patrick Bateman to top the 1st, because her pursuit overclouded her judgement, and that in itself I suppose answered my own question, but the very reason for killing all of these people defeated her purpose for being there, that's my problem. She was a very smart woman though and made it a very entertaining film to watch, it was given sex appeal with out the sex, she was very good about how she tidied up her messes and how she extracted her kills, yes it may have been less gory, but smart & sexy to say the least, I do not intend to judge upon how attractive she was,cause she is, but it was well acted, but that's just my opinion, watch it again if you must, really dig deep into the plot, do some research on how it was filmed, and let it be judged by that
