Critics Consensus

Lacking any of the charm of its predecessor, City Slickers 2 meanders around the map without ever finding comedy gold.

The sequel is better than the original. The Addition of John Lovitz is gold. Curly having a twin brother is a little bit of a flimsy plot vehicle but I love this movie, I've seen it multiple times, I will watch it many more times.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Jon Lovitz comes in here and saves this movie. The Curly has a twin idea was stupid. It would be more believable if Curly simply wasn't dead

The sequel nobody asked for. It's pointless, lacks the charm or laughs of the first and features some real groanworthy coincidences. I used to love this as a kid, but it hasn't aged well at all. Still, there's some nostalgia here, if you had warm memories of this.

Billy Crystal never fails to entertain and make you laugh. Too bad there was not much new from the original. Nor was it as good.

Very different then the first but still good. Don't know why it it's so low on both audience score and the tomato meter. 7.5/10

Anderson Jones

Detroit Free Press

Crystal and director Paul Weiland shoot themselves in the foot by borrowing shamelessly from almost every other western ever conceived -- including the first "Slickers."

I kept wondering how the filmmakers mustered up the energy to go to work every morning.

Fans of the original may enjoy a return to the ranch and the buddy movie antics that follow, but this sequel never quite harnesses the charm of the first film.

Tries too hard to replicate the "City Slickers" experience without fully appreciating what made the original film so special.

Gone With The Twins

Here, the motivation isn't excitement or bolstering self-esteem as much as it is just greed and dwelling on regrets.
