“If you have been reading my user comments, you will have seen that I enjoyed the original u0026quot;Jack Frostu0026quot; movie. I thought it was a pretty funny black comedy. So when I heard they had made a sequel, I was set to rent it. However, none of the video stores in my city got it (knowing that video stores watch screeners, that should have been my first warning.) It took years for me to get a copy, which I did by my Internet DVD renting service. On the DVD, I saw that there was a 3 year gap between the film copyright and when it was released on DVD – which should have been my second warning.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, I watched the movie, and I was sorely disappointed. The movie looks like it was made on a budget much smaller than the first movie (if thatu0026#39;s possible). While the cheapness occasionally gets a laugh (check out the u0026quot;airportu0026quot; near the beginning), most of the time the movie looks very tacky. Some parts look like they were shot on videotape and not film! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite the cheapness, I might have still enjoyed the movie had it the wit of the first movie, but it doesnu0026#39;t. The humor this time around seems very forced, with (among other things) too many lame wisecracks by the snowman. The script also suffers from having a number of boring stretches, a lame climax, and the movie having to resort to ripping off u0026quot;Gremlinsu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIs there anything good about this sequel? Well, I thought that there were a few decent splatter scenes, which managed to be gory and amusing at the same time. But they are not enough to make it worthwhile to slog through the boredom and lameness in the rest of the movie.”
