You basically saw the funny stuff in the commercials.

Usually, you will have one are two funny scenes that are totally unexpected in a comedy that you don't even see a hint of in the commercial. For this movie if you seen the barrage of previews for this commercial, then you have seen all the funniest scenes period. By the time I saw this at the theater the scenes were very stale as they repeated the commercials so much it was pathetic. This one has a bit more of the family in it, which was the highlight of the first one. To bad they are not as funny in larger doses. The plot has Sherman somehow extracting the part of him that is Buddy Love. This form somehow comes to life on its own and starts wrecking havoc. This was such an awful plot device you wonder why it is even there. Why have Buddy Love return, is it just to show the audience that Eddie Murphy is actually in shape or what? This movie also has to many scenes where it takes itself to seriously and gets to sappy. What is the matter with just having a comedy without the tender moments? Tender moments are not what I go to a comedy to see most of the time and this is a movie I was expecting none. If you saw the many advertisements of this one, don't bother...you have seen all the funniest parts. If you haven't seen much on it, you may want to give it a go.
