The Jerk, Too

About This Movie

So, 'The Jerk, Too' is this quirky follow-up to the original, with Navin Johnson off on another misadventure. The tone is light and playful, a stark contrast to the often surreal mishaps he encounters. You get this blend of slapstick and situational comedy that feels uniquely tied to the character. The pacing, while a bit uneven, captures that TV movie vibe of the mid-80s – it’s like they just let the gags run a little longer than necessary. Sure, the performances might not have the same flair as the original, but there’s a charm to the simplicity. It captures a certain innocence of that era, and the Vegas setting adds a nice touch. The practical effects and gags, while not groundbreaking, have their own kind of charm that keeps you engaged.
