    City Slickers 2 is a fun time. The movie is a pretty decent sequel to City Slickers, which was a great comedic western. This time around, Mitch is back, along with his best friend and brother. Upon finding Curly's map, they decide to search for gold that his hidden in the desert.

    This is the sequel to the original City Slickers. Though I prefer the original movie this film is on pare with it. Most of the original cast are back for this film. Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern and Jon Lovitz bring the laughs for the film. And great to see Jack Palance back for th...( read more)is film as well. The story is solid and with a good cast and some laughs makes for a enjoyable watch. If you liked the original then you should like this sequel.

    A sequel made just for the sake of making a sequel to a high grossing film. No where near as good as the first.

    "There is something wrong with your cow. I reach under there and I'm pulling, tugging, tugging, pulling, nothing, not a drop."
    "The cow's name is Norman. You were pulling on his dick."

    GOOD MOVIE WORTH WATCHING
  • August 28, 2008
    Was not expecting much from this sequel, but it wasn't completely horrible. Some funny moments as the gang carry on after Curly's death and discover he's left them a special treat. First was better.

    "Mitch Robbins" (Billy Crystal) is turning the "Big 4-O" and is happy with his life. He then comes across a map hidden in the hat given to him by the late "Curly", which appears to lead to a buried treasure somewhere out west.

    As he tries to keep the map a secret between him ...( read more)and his friend and co-worker "Phil Berquist" (Daniel Stern), he begins to think he sees "Curly".

    Now he, "Phil" and his ("Mitch") lazy brother, "Glen", who can quote the "Godfather" movies by heart secretly go back to the area they met "Curly" to find his gold. But they come across somebody they never expected, who is also after the treasure -- "Curly's" identical twin brother, "Duke (Jack Palance, who also played "Curly" in the first film.

    There are some pretty good performances in this film. Crystal is funny with the one-liners and zingers. Jon Levitz is good at playing a character he's usually cast in, he could have been a little more over-the-top to make his performance a little more memorable. Palance wasn't too memorable in this role, if you ask me. Like Levitz, he played this character like every other one I've seen him play on screen.

    There was some beautiful scenery in this movie. It must have been impressive on the big screen when it came out to theaters. One scene which stood out was the stampede scene.

    The movie is well paced, but some people may think it lags at times. The movie shows the three main characters ("Phil" and the "Robbins" brothers) bonding, which is really needed between the brothers, since one is successful and the other is not.

    The majority of jokes are one-liners and zingers, with very little physical comedy. Many of the jokes will get you to laugh, but not bust a gut. Like I said before, Crystal is probably the best in the humor department in the film.

    There is really no special effects in the movie that is worth mentioning. However, there is some good camera work, from scenery shots to one action scene (the previously mentioned stampede scene).

    One thing I recommend you do is watch the first movie to familiarize yourself with the returning characters. I saw this movie on one of the movie channels because it was recommended by Yahoo Movies on my personalized recommendations list.

    Personally, I think this would be a good rental.

  • March 21, 2008
    This movie is ok. Nothing that spectacular though.
  • March 2, 2008
    The first was a smart movie about mid-life crisis and guys bonding. The characters in this one are looking for money and it the movie was just made...for more money. Plus Jon Lovitz was a bad replacement for the late great Bruno Kirby who was great in the original.

    Still t...( read more)he movie does have some charm and heart despite the awful plot. The late great Jack Palance steals the show once again even if it doesn't work that Curly has a twin brother.

    The second part of City Slickers begins after the death of Curly. It is the 40th birthday of Mitch Robbins and the day begins quite good until he returns home (after a hard day at the radio station) and finds his brother Glen, the black sheep of the family, in his sofa. Neverthel...( read more)ess he is about to have a wonderful birthday-night with his wife when he discovers a treasure map of Curly by chance. Together with Phil (from the first part) and unfortunately with Glen he tries to find the hidden gold of Curly's father in the desert of Arizona instead of attending a meeting in Las Vegas. The adventurous journey reveals many surprises until everything seems to be over when the map gets lost...

    I cant believe they liked the first one lol
  • September 29, 2007
    Not as good as the original, but was definately worth making.
  • September 24, 2007
    The rare sequel that's about as good as the original.
  • September 14, 2007
    A film that just took all that was good in the first movie and threw it back in our faces making a complete mess and in some ways spoiling all the magic of the first film. Billy Crystal really missed the mark making this film.
  • September 11, 2007
    A bit of an insult to the original movie if you want my opinion. I would ask what the cast were thinking - but it's obvious they were just thinking about the paycheck. At least Bruno Kirby had the good sense to stay away.
  • September 6, 2007
    great follow up film to the first one
  • September 3, 2007
    good for laugh.JackPalance died in real life.He was good in his part.
