Critic Reviews

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    The whole film plays like an outtake, and that I do mean as a compliment.

  • Charles Taylor, Salon.com

    While the rest of it isn't really any good, it's certainly no chore to watch.

  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

    The film seems content to rely on the formula that could (small sigh) extend for a few more sequels.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    For fans of the still-youthful franchise, this movie's going to hit the spot.

  • Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

    About half as much fun as the original, and for August, that's probably good enough.

    The best out of the three hands down. This film has a really well thought out story line, and great comedy from Tucker and Chan. It packs a punch.

  • danny d


    almost as good as the first. the comedy still works, the action is reasonable enough, and the chemistry between the leads works as well or better. a solid sequel.

  • Film C
