It's difficult to see this as a story on its own.

The first movie was a brilliant black comedy.

This one .... I'd have called it an entertaining slapstick-ish comedy were it not for the first movie and the character that links both movies together.

The movie starts well enough and gets thoroughly entertaining throughout its middle part yet everything gets thrown away just at the end. The end just makes no sense - a throwaway irony given the main character's remark at the stupidity of the surrounding characters.

The story itself is smart enough but fails to come together in the end and instead blurts out a totally Deus Ex Machina, unforeseen and illogical ending for no apparent reason.
