Okay, so this film is not as bad as everyone seems to think it is. It's not good, but not the worst. The film actually starts fine it just goes down hill from there. I kept wondering why the lead character played by Jackie Mason feels similar to Rodney Dangerfield's character in the original film. As it turns out, Harold Ramis intended for Dangerfield to return as the lead but due to studio fall outs Dangerfield left the project. Murray was even in the original script for the sequel (replaced by Dan Aykroyd who gives one of the worst performances in his career). However, the studio couldn't let the project die and made it without Ramis and Dangerfield, instead casting Mason (as well as changing the character a bit).
Ultimately the film just makes you think about what could've been. Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid are the highlights of this forgettable sequel.
