Simply A Masterpiece

Fantastic!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Dooley and Jerry Lee are still running amok on the force! Just a little older and a little less effective. Things get a bit worrisome for Dooley when age is clearly catching up to Jerry Lee. Jerry is forced to partner up with Sgt. Welles(Tucci) and her dog to track down somebody that is gunning for revenge, and putting Dooley's life in danger. The good news is this sequel is nowhere near as bad as part three. The bad news? It's still highly unnecessary. I'll give this movie credit where it's due. It passed the time admirably and painlessly, something I wasn't expecting. It still has the lazy toilet humor and it's quite dated with an 80's feel. I love the 80's, so this type of cheese is right up my alley. I couldn't help but chuckle at the Rocky style gags of getting Jerry Lee & Dooley back in shape. That being said, I couldn't shake off this feeling that this movie was phoning it in! And to be honest, it was! There is much more action in this one than the third. Belushi was out of shape, but not to an embarrassing degree like he was in the third, so he's able to handle himself in mediocre fashion, in the action scenes. At this stage? Mediocre is a compliment. He's still way out of his element, running after baddies. I like Belushi, but it's obvious he's nowhere near his best. He phones it in half the time and kinda mugs his way through. He cracks some jokes, some funny, some aren't. I kinda wish he showed a little more agony about his dead wife. Christine Tucci is rather bland, but fits the bill. She doesn't embarrass herself and kept me watching. Her romance with Belushi wasn't very believable. Wade Williams is OK as the villain. His storyline had a lot of potential, but it resorted to clichés and took the safe route. It wasn't congruent to the tone of the filmI did give this movie plenty of criticism, but I did have some mild fun with it. If you put your brain aside, it is possible to get through this movie with no regrets. The original is still the best! 5.3/10

This movie was just plain bad. Just about every cop movie cliché is present and accounted for. Bad guy gets away? check. Partner? check. Wacky personality clash with partner? check. Rookie with something to prove? check. Rookie shows up grizzled veteran. check. About the only ones it didn't touch on were idiot shoot themselves in the foot and retirony but I guess they're saving those old chestnuts for Dooley's next outing. Add in the battle of the sexes with Girl Power along with tired old sight gags and banal overdone material like Dooley's prize car getting trashed all the time and you have the recipe for one really bad movie. Avoid this one at all costs.

In this sequel to the 1989 action-comedy classic K-9, detective Dooley [James Belushi] and his dog Jerry Lee return to fight crime, but this time they are teamed up with another detective [Christine Tucci] and her partner, a mean Doberman named Zues who does not get along with Jerry Lee very well. Dooley does not get along with his new partner much either. That all changes as the movie goes along. The movie is intense as their is a guy that really wants to kill Dooley for the way he treated him in the past. There is some dramatic scenes dealing with the death of Dooley's wife that don't really seem to be with the tone of the movie because the rest of the movie is action sequences, dog poop jokes, fart jokes, and jokes about dogs biting bad guys in a certain area. I know that that seems like very low humor, but some of it is actually very funny. I didn't see this movie for the jokes, I saw it for two reasons. The first reason is because I am a big James Belushi fan and the second is for the action sequences. James Belushi is funnier than he was in K-9 and the action sequences at are better too. It would have been nice to see more characters from K-9 to return, but it's still a fun movie. If you are a James Belushi fan, you'll love this movie.

I don't much remember the first K9 movie, which I've seen once. I rented this movie out of pure curiousity and was not dissapointed. It is incredibly entertaining and funny at the same time. James Belushi is solid as a rock as always, continuing to show us why he is so well suited to light comedic movies. At his side is Mac, as Jerry Lee, his canine partner, who is incredibly talented and well trained and is responsible for some of the more funny moments in the film. Another interesting thing about this movie is that the plot is so different from the first movie. Whereas in the first movie it focused on the relationship between Dooley( Belushi) and Jerry Lee, this one focuses on the fact that Jerry Lee is getting old and is about due for retirement and Dooley's reaction to this. As well as that Dooley and Jerry Lee have to contend with a bad guy that has ties to Dooley and wants revenge. Quite entertaining and worth watching. 8/10
