Mitch Robbins (Billy Crystal) returns in this sequel to the original City Slickers that attempts to recapture the first film's warmth and character comedy. Despite feeling re-invigorated when we last ... read more read more...left him, Mitch again faces a few personal dilemmas: his radio station job is going nowhere and his schlep of a brother (Jon Lovitz, replacing Bruno Kirby as the third of Mitch's cowboy threesome) has come to stay for a while. Things get really strange when Mitch is haunted by the ghost of cowboy Curly (Jack Palance), who died while leading Mitch and friends on their first cattle-herding adventure. Mitch unexpectedly finds a treasure map in the band of Curly's hat and, together with his brother and his friend Phil (Daniel Stern), heads back to the West to find Curly's lost gold mine. Along the way, they hitch up with Curly's twin brother, again played by Palance. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

  • September 25, 2009
    Awful and unnecessary cash in.
  • October 30, 2007
    Good movie. Just as funny and entertaining as the first one.
  • September 24, 2007
    okay
  • July 7, 2007
    A decent sequel to City Slickers, but where the heck was Bruno Kirby?
  • January 18, 2007
    good sequel
  • December 28, 2006
    This didn't need a second movie. Kind of pointless.

    It basically retreads the plot of the well made original, and this is the result: A anti-climactic, scarcely funny, lame rehash.
  • July 10, 2007
    Decent sequel
  • November 5, 2009
    Prototypical 'the first one was a surprise hit so let's cash in and make a sequel' movie.
  • October 21, 2008
    A sequel made just for the sake of making a sequel to a high grossing film. No where near as good as the first.

Absolutely pointless sequel without an ounce of creativity.

As broad as a barn.

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

Another unnecessary sequel; not up to the original.

Paint-by-numbers sequel that will bore even fans of the original.
