City Slickers 2 is a western comedy and that in itself should make you want to see it. How many films are there in this sub genre? But the casual happy go lucky performances from Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern and Jon Lovitz make this a winner all the way. Though nowhere as good as the original City Slickers is a great diversion from the chaotic world of today. Get lost in the Texan sun and early 90s charm.

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.

Billy Crystal, Jack Palance, Daniel Stern, Jon Lovitz, Patricia Wettig and Noble Willingham star in this 1994 comedy sequel. This takes place a year after the first film where Mitch (Crystal) is now living in the country near New York and is radio station manager. He starts having bad dreams about late cowboy, Curly (Palance) and thinks he's alive. His friend, Phil (Stern) is now divorced and his brother, Glen (Lovitz) is looking for a handout. While Mitch celebrates his 40th birthday, he finds a treasure map inside Curly's hat. Mitch talks with Phil and they decide to hunt for the treasure that Curly kept secret. Glen joins them and they get into mishaps. Soon, they meet Curly's twin brother, Duke (Palance) who helps them. Wettig returns as Mitch's wife, Barbara and Willingham returns as Clay Stone. This is a good sequel with a good cast I recommend.

Okay, I may not be the best sequel to a comedy, but at least there were funnier jokes in this one than the original. Don't get me wrong, I really like the first movie and I own it, but watching it again and noticing the jokes in it, pretty much it was all bitching and complaining about their sex lives and their mid life criss-es. And Bruno Kirby is a funny guy, but his character Ed wouldn't stop convincing Mitch to do all these crazy things and asking him ridiculous questions like the woman in the rocket ship and the Kellogs super pack. Pretty much the funniest one (and most unfortunate one) is probably Phil (Daniel Stern). ARLENE: YOU'RE CRAZY! PHIL: THAT'S RIGHT! NOT HAVING SEX FOR 12 YEARS WILL DO THAT TO A PERSON! hilarious, brilliantly hilarious.However, in this movie, the jokes were very well thought, well expressed and sarcastic and frank at the same time. That to me is impressing. GLEN: Hey guys! How do you think those two laughing idiots we rented all this stuff from are going to feel when we bring home all that gold? MITCH: Yeah, the looks on those tobacco chewin', gun rack having, chicken screwin', sister marryin', abandoned bathroom in the front yard leaving, vitamin deficientcied ugly faces! That has to be the best description of two dumbass hicks. There are tons of other jokes in this movie that wish I could recite. I do admit that I was disappointed in a lot of the characters or some recognizable cast were in only in the movie for a very short period of time but thats about it. Anway thats pretty much all I can say about that.
