Two bumbling private eyes take a trip to New Orleans and find themselves entangled in a web of sexy female spies and government conspiracy. The biggest issue with this film is that everything that made the first film fun and exciting and amusing is kind of stripped away here. The action isn’t nearly as good, they opted to go with some kind of bizarre sci-fi subplot that results in a fight with a cgi opponent that really doesn’t work at all, and there’s just no pacing to this one. If the first was a fast paced thriller, this is the follow up that tries to capture that moving pace by sticking in one place and handing out the clues instead of the characters and the audience piecing it together as we go. It’s not horrible, but it feels like a wholly unnecessary sequel that does nothing to capture what made the first work so well.
