Fast paced action comedy sequel. Murphy's gags and shenanigans come quicker and more outrageous in this second outing in Beverly Hills and though the story might seem like a slight rehash of the first the humour is still just as great. Great to see Reinhold's character more in this film and how he just behaves insane gives some great laughs. Really funny stuff. Billy probabley steals the show in this film. A great comedy with some awesome action set peices thrown in.

Rating : 8/10
