Bad Boys 2

This was basically 3 short films mashed together, and strung along by a very thin thread.

I wasn't as offended by the racial angles/liberties that showed up in the film. Actually, I laughed along with the crowd because at the core, there was enough humor in those scenes to elicit the laughs.

There is quite a bit of gross humor and situations, with a no-hold-barred attitude in the direction (or the writing, for that matter). The language is at times raw (but that doesn't bother me one bit either). There are about 3 really funny side-splitting scenes that just about make it worth the price of a matinee showing. The stunts are gratitious and fast-paced, with nary a semblence of real danger to the main guys, Marcus and Mike. Does that undermine this kind of film, nah, it's just about what I expected in this roller coaster of a movie.

The audience I attended had an awfully good time with the film, and I think it'll get good word of mouth (even if critics slag it).

I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
