Leslie Jones was almost as unbearable as she was in Fauxbusters.

Almost.

There are very few people in Hollywood less talented and less watchable.

Other than that, I decently enjoyed it for what it was.

It needed a Soul Glo scene, or some more reference to it.

Started strong.
Middle 45 minutes was horrible.
Ended strong.

Literally laughed out loud at the military training techniques.

Tons of callbacks and guests. Worth it for one watch but it was built up way too much in my head as the first one is, for a lack of a better word, comedy royalty.

Snipes as General Izzi was channeling Jimmy Wah from Good Morning Vietnam, cracked me up. Fun to see him do a comedy.

definitely. you can't tell me eric lasalle was too busy. maybe a commercial for their home weave products, which in the first movie were "really taking off".

Liked it overall. Funniest scene was the outtake Prince LaVell: I got some whiskers. They're from a lion. King Hakeem: That's my bit. It's ice cream.

Quote:

"I'm sorry that Eriq didn't want to take part in the sequel, because we had a plan for him," the film's co-writer David Sheffield tells Rolling Stone. "We wanted to do a new commercial that would be seen in the background somewhere in a scene, and it was gonna be called 'Soul Gro.' The joke was going to be that Eriq is now selling a baldness cure and he was also a customer. The ad called for Eriq to be bald and for hair to sprout out of his head magically."

We didn't need Eriq....(wtf, Eric with a Q?!). Just should have done a commercial without him. Soul gro would have been something funny. Lord knows the movie needed that.

I legitimately don't think I have ever laughed at anything she has said or done on SNL. It's as basic and uncreative as a 'comedian' can be.

This was the first time I'd found her to be really funny actually.

As close as it gets to her being competent was as a supporting role to Louis CK (who carried the entire sketch).

The only time I've ever laughed at anything she did was in the Meet Your Second Wife sketch where her scowl was just perfect after they revealed her husband's second wife was white (and of course the follow-up joke, which I won't spoil).

In fact, that skit is still one of the best SNL has done in probably the last 10 years.

I had really low expectations going into this movie after seeing that Leslie Jones was in it. She is the worst. I almost turned it off after the little white privilege lecture scene.

What white privelege scene?

I enjoyed it for what it was. This movie was never going to be as good as the first (or really approach it). These sequels made 20-30 years after the originals are never good and are mostly nods to the fans and/or money grabs (see Indiana Jones and Crystal Skull, Dumb and Dumber To, Wall Street Money Never Sleeps, Independence Day Resurgence, etc.) Also, Shari Headley is still absolutely, drop dead gorgeous.
