Creating a sequel for one of the best movies ever made? Whoever came up with idea to follow the movie had to be under the influence of sheer joy.

Paying homage to the original, bringing people back for cameos, and making a mash-up of so many superlative movies...all in two hours? Check!

You would think Hal Needham was directing, with all the police cars chasing the heroes. The cost of crashed cruisers exceeds the GDP of Bangaledesh. The links to other action movies of the era -- amazing. Russians as bad guys? Why not? Neo-KKK? Yep. Catholic nuns doing good while doing bad? Sure. Inept law enforcement? FBI, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana...cue Buford T Pusser. Special church services -- with music and dancing? Praise!

The number of truly amazing musicians in this movie is awesome. Watching the credits, you marvel that the movie producers were able to bring them all in. True talents, expressing joy as they played together in a once - in - a - lifetime jam.

If you are expecting a golden age classic, you'll be disappointed. If you are hoping to remember the great movie from years ago, and to relax with an adult beverage or two, this is a movie for you. See it on Amazon Prime.

It’s fun because of the good music and all of the cool cameos.

I would have paid to be an extra for that final music scene. Imagine what they could have charged to have all those artists, even at their age in 2000, have a couple of blow out concerts.

Kinda think it was Dan Akroyd telling John landis…. Yeah let’s get every blues musician alive that’s willing to be in this movie. as a personal love letter from Akroyd to them and sorry about not being able to get you a cameo in the 1st movie.

Love the original and watched it again a few months ago. I didn't even know they had a reboot but I'll check it out for sure.

I found it to be a pale imitation of the original, but will admit that I love the big musical number at the end. Ackroyd is a huge blues fan and clearly called everyone he could find. The revival was fun too.

The original however is an absolute classic piece of American cinema.

While the first movie is the greatest musical ever made, BB2k is a fun and enjoyable imitation
