I was excited to see JER after seeing the trailer and being impressed by it. It looked a lot better than the original, which was funny, and with Rowan pulling the strings, and the faces, I couldn't lose. But lose I did.
The movie is a waste of time. Some of the jokes are repeated several times to the extent that you could predict when they were going to occur and that spoiled me laughing genuinely. Even the plot is so stupid it's hard to imagine Rowan Atkinson not stopping and asking "is this for real?" A tighter script, more polished jokes was required for a better sequel, or even for a stand alone film, and it was not delivered.
The rest of the cast were below average. Gillian Anderson looked great but that's all she offered. Rosamund Pike looked like she was trying for an Oscar role. Dominic West was disappointing and that's a sore point as he's been brilliant in the Wire series.
Definitely a movie to avoid... Sadly...
