Trailer:
I gotta start this review with I prefer the first movie but this sequel still had its charm. As expected, the plot is pretty much predictable and quite similar to the first movie. But Sandra totally killed her character as Gracie here, once again. I totally fall for her laugh-snort.
The combination of Agent Gracie and Agent Sam was a total messy but they are the one that lift up this film. Each scenes with both of them had me rolling on the floor. I love how the Agent Gracie now would randomly said quote from famous designer to make her point. But that delivers well and those quote does actually fit in the situation!
Adding up with these two were Joel and Agent Jeff. Joel is pretty much similar to Victor's character, but I prefer Victor's more but Joel is an okay character. He actually did contribute to the time I am laughing so he is good. Agent Jeff on the other hand, his character was just a mere tool for Agent Gracie and Agent Sam to get away from in the Las Vegas turf.
Ignoring the barely there plot, I think I enjoyed the film just film with the silliness of the characters, cheesiness of the dialogues and just Sandra. It was a good stress reliever and an even better laughter inducers. If you enjoy the first one, this one might work with you but bear in mind that the plot progression is a copy and paste.
