Went and saw this sequel this evening. I, for one, would advise you not to bother. Plot, what plot? It was just a confusing mess from start to finish.

I've heard as much... I kinda wanted to see it but now after so many negative reviews, I'll put it out of my head!

Thanks for posting your opinion!

See I'm a big Julia Roberts fan too - that's why I wanted to see it. But I've heard it described as a bunch of famous actors getting paid a lot to just have fun... kinda like you're watching them have fun on the screen and you feel a little left out.

Speaking of movies in general, is Hollywood just plain out of ideas for new ones? All of the posters in the theater seemed to be for upcoming films that were just remakes or film versions of old ideas:

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp.

The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds in a different role.

Fat Albert.

I saw National Treasure with Nicholas Cage recently with my husband and both of us liked it. Age doesn't matter, I think pretty much everyone would enjoy it. It has elements of Indiana Jones, Goonies and James Bond all in one movie.

a friend of mine read an article about this. He said that it's SO expensive to get a film made that studios are afraid to finance risky films, so are sticking with remakes a lot. It's sad.

I like the indies a lot of the time more, like "Sideways" is a great movie.
Also "Motorcycle diaries"

I wouldn't care much to see this film, I'm not a big fan of Brad Pitt.

I want to see Bridget Jones Diary 2 also. The first one was funny.

As far as remakes go, Blade Trinity was excellent (although, it was a step towards comedy) It was def. Worth the cost of admissions. If you're conservative about swearing though
avoid it, it's a bit heavy on the potty mouth. Also, Parker Posy.. One needs beer goggles to think she's remotely attactive.. (but I think she was supposed to look like an unattractive, pretensious trollop)
