Overrated and overhyped

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I disagree with many of the reviews. I think this was a darned fun movie. Maybe some people are taking every film too seriously. Just sit back and laugh, sometimes just chuckle because of a good-hearted movie.I was glad I watched this again after 20+ years because as I did I remembered how much I appreciated Billy Crystal over the years. First as a young actor in "Soap", then as an impressionist, later in several entertaining films, and his hosting of the Oscars. Crystal had a very nice touch to things -- funny, yet also sentimental, and it shows through in this film.His sidekicks here are Daniel Stern, not my idea of a memorable actor...but his performance worked very well here. And, Jon Lovitz, another non-favorite of mine, yet again, his performance worked here. And of course, Jack Palance is here...again, not one of my favorites, but he was good for the role.The location photography here is terrific, the script pretty decent, and the story line reasonably good. I liked it...with no apologies.

Following up on the tremendous success of City Slickers in 1991, City Slickers II was released in 1994. It made about a third of the money that CS I did.The film starts with a Mitch (Billy Crystal) dreaming about Curly (Jack Palance) coming out of his grave; Mitch wakes up a wreck that Curly was buried alive. He shakes himself out of it. It's his 40th birthday, and we can see that his life has changed and he's much happier as he jogs in the morning with Norman, the steer he saved.It's a rocky day at the station. He has gotten Phil (Daniel Stern) a job there, but it's not working out and he's afraid he will have to fire him. Phil is down because of his divorce, so Mitch invites him to the house. On the train home, Mitch could swear that he sees Curly.When he gets home, he sees that his lower brother Glen (Jon Lovitz) is there. Looking forward to a romantic evening with his wife (Patricia Wettig), Mitch ultimately sends Glen off with Phil. Later, he goes through the things he still has of Curly's and finds a treasure map.Before you know it, Mitch, Glen, and Phil are out looking for the treasure, eventually getting help from Curly's twin brother Duke. Like Mitch's own brother Glen, Duke was the black sheep of his family.Funny film with Lovitz and Crystal in fine form, and another good performance by Palance. Lots of good one-liners and amusing premises, along with some pathos. Thanks to the actors, the film retained the warmth of the first movie with likable characters.Enjoyable, if not as good as the first.

A tribute to the acting of an old cow hand: finally, we see a real human being in Jack Palance' character portrayals. The story continues following the death of Jack Palance' tough cowboy, Curly, which was just that and almost no more but more than Jack normally was allowed to play. Fortunately, for we fans, Curly had a twin sailor brother who is now following Billy Crystal's naive and beleaguered Mitch and what unfolds is a fuller view of the man himself. Brilliant. Tragic. A must-have.For those following the story line: gone is Bruno Kirby's angry Ed Furillo, with his third wheel replacement Jon Lovitz entering as Mitch's loser brother, Glen.

Every so often you get a sequel to a really good movie that is even better than the original; sadly this is not one of them.The gags are more crude than subtle, and stretched till all the stupid people get them, to the point of discomfort, and redoing the VCR gag that was great first time round was a crime against comedy.I loved the first film and after waiting 15 years to catch CS2 I have to say I was disappointed. The start is slow and bogged down by domestic issues that did not contribute to the plot in any meaningful fashion.CS1 was uplifting, CS2 is a predictable repeat and subtracts from your fondness for the characters as they discover greed.Thankfully Jack Palance lived on to make a few more films after this for us to remember him by, may he rest in peace.
