10 Wildly Popular Films That Are Actually Rubbish
10. Bad Boys 2
Bad Boys 2 doubled its predecessor’s box office tally, which is apt because the movie serves up everything you saw in the original in a double portion, including the constant stream of smutty, unfunny jokes. A porno is accidentally shown on every TV screen in an electronics store. There’s a corpse in a morgue with big boobs. Martin Lawrence gets shot in the butt.
Part I concluded with Lawrence being shot south of the border, so Part 2 tries to top it by turning it into a running gag. Imagine two and a half hours of butt jokes and banter about the inability to make wood and you’ve got the movie in a nutshell.
In fact, the constant stream of low-aiming humour is enough for Lawrence and Will Smith to be mistaken for lovers – just as they were in the first movie. As Oscar Wilde would say, once is bad enough but twice is simply careless.
