Good Adams, solid SFX, bored Stiller, poor plot = better than the first film but not by much
31 July 2009
The only reason this film gets a positive comment from me is Amy Adams. Without her sparkling performance, this would have been basic cable fare, albeit with good production values.

The plot works like clockwork and everyone except Adams seems on autopilot. I feel at least Stiller could have made more of an effort.

There are very few laughs until half way through the movie. There's some clever stuff with paintings and photos, and a better script could have done something truly magical with the idea.

Bottomline: an improvement over the first film but not by much.
