For those that don't want to look ... the spoiler mentions a cameo role

tupac_healy

Usually sequels are a useless waste of time these days but 21 deserves one!!


I loved the first one, the chemistry between the two was great!

I really loved the first one, even though I was expecting it to be terrible. A sequel could be good, but I'd be wary that they'll just be re-hashing the same jokes.

A second new trailer out

Deliberately not looking at anything more to do with this (aside from the initial trailer released last year) so as not to spoil anything. Seriously looking forward to this!

They'll be on the Late Late Show *shudders* on Friday night for those interested.

I was expecting the original to be bad and was very pleasantly surprised. Am looking forward to this.

I dont see Ellie Kemper listed in the credits of the sequel though which is a shame.

Ice Cube looks the same age for the last 25 years.

Not going by reviews it's supposed to be better then the first film.

Wow shes's one hot lady, I though it was the girl Johan Hill fell for, isn't she the teacher that has a crush on Tatum?. Then I noticed that was Brie Larson, seems she's not in the sequel either. a shame both are good comedic actresses.

Since when would you trust reviews :P

All a matter of opinion, both myself and my wife didn't think it was great, and we loved the first one. Also going on the amount of laughter in the audience we weren't alone.

Totally in love with Ellie Kemper; gorgeous and very funny.

Agreed.

I thought it was...okay.

I had zero expectations going in to the first film and enjoyed the hell out if it. I had heard from various sources that the sequel was even funnier than its predecessor so I was expecting good things. But it failed to deliver.

The running gag from the start is that they are doing exactly the same thing over again with a bigger budget because that's what people want. And it IS basically the same film over again, but without the charm, wit and originality of the first.

Don't get me wrong - there ARE a few good laughs but they are few and far between. The film's pacing really lets it down. Some scenes are inexplicably short and others long outstay their welcome. I get the sense that Hill and Tatum were allowed to go off script and riff a bit more this time around and the results are uneven at best. They don't seem particularly engaged or interested in what they're doing. The movie also feels very rushed towards the end and many supporting characters are simply dropped or forgotten about as the conclusion draws near. The funniest scene for me featured a cameo from a character from the first film and his brief appearance only highlighted how much he was sorely missed in this one. Peter Stormare is woefully underused too which is a crime in itself.

However, that said, make sure you stay for the end credits. Just like The Hangover Part III, they are the best thing about the movie but they do leave you wondering where the hell that originality and spark were for the preceding 2 hours.

I'll be interested to see the reaction from other posters when it opens, especially from those who liked the first.

The audience I saw it with (not critics but competition winners) were pretty silent throughout but a gaggle of teenagers sitting nearby seemed to find some of the scenes absolutely hilarious so maybe I'm just too old for this ****...

A rental at best.

e_e

Didn't like the first much yet laughed more or less all the way through this. Very nice surprise for me, just felt smarter and more confident than the original.

jackwillson772

I seen this and taught it was ok noting special tbh.

biko

I thought it was ok too. You have to like pretty "stupid" humour but then it's good fun.

Reekwind

I enjoyed this a lot. It's arguably weaker than the original (less structured, not as smart, weaker plot and characters) but much funnier. I can't remember the last time I laughed as much in the cinema; it's genuinely laugh out loud in several places. And I'm willing to forgive a lot of a film if it makes me laugh.

Interestingly, in light of a few comments above, this was something shared by the rest of the cinema. The crowd was smaller than expected but it erupted in laughter at quite a few points.

Calling a paparazzi a fag got afaik.

Thought it was great fun to be honest.. and did think it was even funnier than the original.

Support were particularly strong in this from the likes of Ice Cube and Jillien Bell.

Loved the references to sequels and the like.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller could be two of the more interesting directors of recent years - especially with the excellent 'The Lego Movie' as well in the last few months.

FunLover18

Thought this was hilarious. Channing Tatum's comedic timing is just amazing,

the moment where he realises that Schmidt has ****ed the Captain's daughter is hilarious, and his timing is perfect

I think this is funnier than the first but the action is bit bigger and a bit OTT for me. The action highlight of 21 was the fight at the house party but hey is more of a comedy and on that front it more than delivers.

The awkward fist fight was hilarious

Supposedly Pitt did film a cameo as a librarian, but I presume it must have been cut

e_e

I'm still laughing at

Ice Cube's reaction to Jonah Hill dating his daugher.

Da Shins Kelly

I saw this the other night. I saw the first one with barely any expectations and ended up loving it. I felt this was only slightly weaker. I liked the first one so much because it was kind of different to a lot of other comedies out there and it had a nice charm about it. This one feels less original (obviously cos it's a sequel) and it is pretty much the same format as the first one. However, it has a lot of genuine laugh out loud moments and a really good cast. There is something very likeable about Jonah Hill, I don't know exactly what it is. He just seems like a genuinely funny guy. His chemistry with Channing Tatum is great throughout too. I think the

poetry slam scene

might have been my favourite scene or the

awkward morning after with the weird roommate telling them she heard everything.

:pac:

Best moment in the film along with

Channing Tatum's reaction to finding out Hill slept with Cube's Daughter, that was timeless. the ending sequence with all the sequels had the whole place in laughter.

I loved it, a comedy that backs it up after a very funny first film. Tatum is really all guns blazing for this, not afraid to make himself look stupid and play the action hero as well. Loved the nods to his past films like White House Down and Step it Up. Hill is really turning into a great actor, doing comedies like this and drama work, his chemistry with Tatum is really funny. I'm surprised it's ok reactions from some on here as I thought it was the equal of the first film.

special mentions to Jillian Bell as

The villain's daughter and Villian herself

her scenes had me laughing, Ice Cube who's given a little more to do in the film and he's given probably got some of the funniest stuff outside Tatum. Amber Stevens is hot as hell as cube's daughter. The Lucas Brothers had some great stuff.

Loved that scene along with the

Tatum thinking Carte Blanche is pronounced Cate Blanchett and their dreams while high on Why-Phy

Also best end credits I've ever seen.

Telecaster58

I watched this last night and thought it was hilarious. I also think it was better than the first one. Tatum's self-deprecating performance was a joy.

The scene where Hill was fighting the fat chick who then accused him of trying to kiss her was particularly funny.

Whatsisname

Saw it last night and

I'm still laughing at Ice Cube freaking out at parents day in the college. Then Tatums reaction to realising what Hill did with Ice Cubes daughter were the two main parts for me, absolutely hilarious.

Seth Rogen coming in for the credits was also very enjoyable.

Reekwind

Spoilers, above?

CPSW

Went to see this last night though it hilarious!

Tatum stole the show for me.

And those that have yet to see it, stay for the credits!

"I thought we had Cate Blanchett with the budget"


Tatum defo the mvp here

Mickeroo

Saw it last night, was very enjoyable. I love all the self aware jokes about the

bigger budget and doing the exact same thing again

.

don ramo

i thought it was a mixed bag myself, i was in tears of laughter at some parts and i was scratching my head at others, some of it was a bit to stupid for my likings, i i would have preferred if they were more dim than stupid in parts,

the first i thought was consistently funny throughout, whereas this is more sporadic with it funny parts, but the funny parts here are better than part one,

very confusing :D:D

JP Liz V1

I thought at first Chiwetel Ejiofor was playing the twins

cloud493

That was so funny, the whole theatre was laughing. Didn't think there was a dull moment. Very good indeed.

Jacks Smirking Revenge

I ended up liking this a lot more than I thought I would.

I especially loved the end credits.

"What contract dispute? I've been here the whole time."

Daemos

Just back from this, thought it was very good. Personally I think the 1st one was better, but that doesn't take anything away from this one

Tatum's reaction to Hill banging Ice Cube's daughter was by far the funniest moment of the movie, among others, including all the self-referential jokes and Rogen's cameo in the credits

Gandalph

Thought it as equally funny as the first one.

Was it just me or was that Jake Busey that got dragged out of the Lambo?!

IvaBigWun

A good, funny film. But the first was better.

longshotvalue

I could only bear 20 mins of this yoke.. Feck sake it one of the stupidest films i've seen in a while. They seem to think if the laugh at themselves its ok to re hash the same film.. I didn't mind the first but jeez i was looking for ward to a funny film..
