After that 70's show she really made some good film choices. This one is kinda iffy. Especially when billed as "Part 2" you sorta expect something similar to the original, not slap stick comedy. But is is a decent comedy, just don'e expect ANYTHING like the original. Because you will be disappointed. How the writers came up with this using the title of the movie is confusing. It's a light, snarky teen comedy. Not the dark suspense of the original. But to each their own. I just thought viewers needed to know what they are getting into because AP was a great disturbing film. That fulfilled it's title well. This one is a little deceiving, but seeing Kunis AND SHATNER in the credits would make most figure it can't be ANYTHING like the original. Their careers are not drawn down that dark path

American Psycho 2: All American Girl(2002) Starring: Mila Kunis, William Shatner, Geraint Wyn Davies, Robin Dunne, Lindy Booth, Kim Poirier, Kim Schraner, Kate Keleton, Charles Officer, Kay Hawtrey, Boyd Banks, Neil Crone, and Lynne Deragon Written By: Bret Easton Ellis Directed By: Morgan J. Freeman Review ANGRIER. DEADLIER. SEXIER. Hello Kiddies your pal the Crypt Critic here with the most boring slasher which happens to be a sequel to one of the best. That's very freaking sad! Rachel is a criminology student hoping to land a position as a teacher's assistant for professor Robert Starkman. She's sure this position will pave the way to an FBI career, and she's willing to do anything to obtain it -- including killing her classmates. The school psychiatrist, Dr. Daniels, becomes aware that Rachel is insane, but Rachel is skilled at her dangerous game of death and identity theft. The film feels like a TV show and a horrible one at that. Everything that went down was stupid and boring. The acting in the film is very lame from pretty much all the actors they all look very bored to be here just as we as an audience get bored from this movie. American Psycho 2 is not scary at all and is no where near as crazy or fun like it's predecessor, I'm giving American Psycho 2 a half out of five.

American Psycho II (2002) BOMB (out of 4) In name only sequel to the cult film has Mila Kunis playing Rachel, a young woman who as a child killed the serial killer Patrick Bateman. Flash forward several years and Rachel is in college trying to become a FBI agent but her goal of becoming her professor's (William Shatner) assistant means that she will have to turn into a killer to knock off the competition. American PSYCHO II is just a poor cash-in on the cult success of the first film but I really don't knock it for that. As a fan of horror films I've come accustom to cheap knock-offs but the problem with this film is that it's just not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. The biggest problem for me is the entire tone of the picture, which seems to be wanting to wink at the viewer. Rachel is shown as just a sweet girl next door type and we get some of the worst narration that you're ever going to hear throughout the movie as we move from one killing to the next. This narration really was some of the worst that I've ever heard and it was quite annoying. Even worse is the music score, which also tries to wink at the viewer with its silly light touch. I'm really not sure what the producers were trying to do with this picture but it's certainly a complete failure from the opening scene to the last. Was this meant to be a spoof of horror pictures? Perhaps but it's certainly not funny and as I said before, the picture isn't nearly as clever as it thinks. Even worse is the fact that Kunis is just downright awful here and it's easy to see why she doesn't want anyone to bring the picture up. Everything from her line delivery to the way she shows any sort of emotion is just bad. Yes she's hot but that's certainly not enough to carry the picture. Shatner is pretty much just cashing a paycheck and adds very little to the picture. Even as a horror film this thing doesn't work as the death scenes are all forgettable and there's just not enough sleaze to make it entertaining.

Thankfully, I caught this on one of the On Demand channels, so basically no money was spent on this piece of garbage. This shouldn't have been linked to American Psycho in any way. It seemed like there was an idea for a film, they knew they wouldn't profit much on it, and so they slapped the name of a successful film on it to fix the problem. Everything that was perfect about the first film was stripped away and replaced with teen slasher clichés and pure annoyance. I could barely make it through and nearly turned it off several times. It's rare that a sequel is able to stand up to the initial installment, but for a sequel to be so horrible that I nearly give up on it entirely is something completely different. If you're a fan of American Psycho, slasher films, films in general, avoid this one. Terrible. Just awful.
