Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best line of defense against a seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIBs mission statement: protecting the earth from the scum of the universe. While investigating a routine crime, Jay uncovers a plot masterminded by Serleena, a Kylothian monster who disguises herself as a lingerie model. When Serleena takes the MIB building hostage, there is only one person Jay can turn to -- his former MIB partner.

Critics Consensus

Lacking the freshness of the first movie, MIB 2 recycles elements from its predecessor with mixed results.

David Ansen

Newsweek

There are just enough fresh, funny gags and witty throwaways to keep the 88-minute "MIB2" percolating.

Common Sense Media

Crazy creatures, some scares, and loads of fun.

Rated: 4/5

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Chicago Reader

The down-home satire of how we cope with cultural difference has evaporated, replaced by jazzy effects that wear out their welcome by the halfway mark.

Deep Focus Review

Represents a long-established trend in Hollywood where franchises resolve to Xerox the first entry.

Rated: 0.5/4

Mike Massie

Gone With The Twins

Odd grotesqueries that seem ill-fitted for a comical adventure compose much of the character designs, weakening the impact of events and the likeliness of being memorable.

Rated: 4/10

Behind The Lens

And film afficionados everywhere will not be lost on some inside jokes and cameos- the funniest of which revolves around some cheesy special effects with wires and tin foil which has Agent Jay commenting that it 'looks like Spielberg's work'.

Mid. Shocking CGI, and terrible jokes. Even the acting is shocking. First one is a lot better.

This sequel does not even come close to the first installment and merely leaves you with a feeling of meh.
