Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment

Police Academy 2 renewed both the cast and the setting, which had its pros and cons. Unfortunately, Mauser didn't have the same villainous charisma as Harris, but on the other hand, I enjoyed and was amused by the presence of Zed and Mr. Sweetchuck, who were the main source of entertainment. The sequel, while failing to reach the quality of the first film, is still a solid and entertaining comedy about the first deployment of "seasoned" rookies who can cause proper mayhem. (13.02.2012)

It's not as good as the first film anymore, but there are moments in it that I really like. However, I don't like the finale with the gang at all, and especially Steve Guttenberg is so...complacent in this installment. He overacts too much and it doesn't fit into the whole picture, which is saying something. Definitely, the first half of this film is better, especially the various pranks on Mauser. But those points are also from nostalgia. (03.06.2014)
