If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
