    Considering its made from outtakes and unused script from the first film, this 'sequel' stands up very well on its own.

    Unjustly criticized film made from outtakes from the superior Smoke. I think too many critics compared it to that film rather than on it's own merits, but I absolutely loved the slice of life feeling of this film. Really good stuff.

    Parts are fun, but unscripted actors can only take things so far.

    The humor in the movie was mostly subtle which worked really well. I honestly just bought the movie because Madonna makes a 2-minute appearance, but I actually liked it a lot!

    More disjointed than Smoke, Blue in The Face actually disappointed me despite some good cameos and an enjoyable performance by Keitel. Kind of an homage to Brooklyn, it has some charm, but lacks the script and the structure from Smoke, and is just not as funny as it intends to be.

    Very Witty & Funny...A little short if you ask me! Love the Star Appearances, love the text, and the characters are vibrant and real. Brooklyn Represent! LOL
