Damn. One of the worst acting performances I've seen this side of an Andy Sedaris movie.

He was fine, just the writing was bad, he wasn`t left with much to work with, I bet the idiot director didn`t even let him improvise.

No way! He was one of the best parts of this movie, which was otherwise pretty mediocre. He was hilarious here just like in the first.

I thought he was just about the only person of interest (aside from the always lovely Suzanne Snyder).

Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the first line clears his lips.

I'm thinking the studio wanted him to just do a repeat performance of what he did in the previous movie. So that's what we got. Probably not the most thrilling gig for an actor.
