Despite feeling re-invigorated when we last left him, Mitch again faces a few personal dilemmas: his radio station job is going nowhere and his schlep of a brother (Jon Lovitz, replacing Bruno Kirby as the third of Mitch's cowboy threesome) has come to stay for a while. Things get really strange when Mitch is haunted by the ghost of cowboy Curly (Jack Palance), who died while leading Mitch and friends on their first cattle-herding adventure. Mitch unexpectedly finds a treasure map in the band of Curly's hat and, together with his brother and his friend Phil (Daniel Stern), heads back to the West to find Curly's lost gold mine. Along the way, they hitch up with Curly's twin brother, again played by Palance. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
Absolutely pointless sequel without an ounce of creativity.
-
Carlo Cavagna, AboutFilm.com
As broad as a barn.
-
Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Another unnecessary sequel; not up to the original.
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Paint-by-numbers sequel that will bore even fans of the original.
