#comedy franchise

01.) Professor Jimmy Edwards seems to really enjoy his role in the radio & TV franchise "Whack-O" & the film version; "Bottoms Up".   "Please Sir.. I want.. some more.."

02.) "The Belles of St. Trinian's" (1954) was based on the comics of British cartoonist Ronald Searle. I seem to think there was more than one feature. Alastar Sim who was best remembered as Scrooge has a duel role as the head mistress & her brother who run the school. (Some comedy is a real drag.)

03.) "Our Miss Brooks" hit the media trifectia like "Whack-O!" & from the radio series was spawned into films & the TV series.

Not as great as the first, but still a solid sequel #BeverlyHillsCop2

Grade: (B+) A reputable sequel to one of the best action-comedies of all-time with plenty of laughs and gunfire to carry the entertainment throughout. With the massive success of the first film, “Beverly Hills Cop II” hoped to recapture the elements of comedy and action that fans wanted. The original cast was regrouped, the stereotypes of rich people in Beverly Hills were rewoven into a new…

One of the classics from #EddieMurphy #BeverlyHillsCop here's my review

Loud-mouthed Detroit detective Axel Foley (Murphy) gets a surprise visit from his longtime friend from California. When his friend is murdered Foley follows the clues leading him to Beverly Hills. In a…

Do yourself a favor and have a few drinks before trying to enjoy this unneeded sequel...

  Time: 102 min MPAA Rating: PG-13 (For crude and sexual content, as scene of exaggerated violence, and brief strong language)    

While the first film felt unique, inventive and fun, this one felt cheep, forced and just plain dumb.

Synopsis

When Ted and his wife want to have a child, Ted must prove to the courts he is and should be considered a real person despite his appearance.

My Thoughts

Sometimes you should just leave it alone and move on it a new idea or vision, that is my opinion of the…

One of the classics from the 80's with an outrageously fun plot, and a fantastic comedic cast.

Overall Grade: (10/10)

Synopsis
