Audience Member not as funny or as clever/cheeky as first pic Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The original was a classic, this one not so much. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member As a die hard Rutle fan, and the creator of the Rutles Wiki, inwas very excited to see this film, thinking it would be a masterpiece. However, I was disappointed to find it ruined by an over amount of sex jokes, bad cameos, and poor scripting. It was hard to watch, let alone in one setting. In other words, this was a disappointing film. I really think that if it wasn't for a few keyless bad scenes, it would have been pretty good, but the bad scenes ruin it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A cash-crop attempt for Eric Idle to use "unused" filming from the original to make a so-called compilation of odds and ends with the Pre-fab four. This only was a passable grade with the help of clever ad-libs from Carrie Fisher, Robin Williams, and David Bowie. The random celebrity interviews are what keeps this from sinking in the bottom of the barrel. Why thank you Eric Idle for wasting my time to rent this piece of antique junk. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie made me HATE Eric Idle. Why? Because when the Rutles recorded their reunion album in 1996, Eric refused to participate because he felt the joke had been done. Years later, he would swipe songs from that album, poorly match them with performance footage from the first film, and put out this turd without the involvement of other three Rutles. While the avalanche of celebrity cameos are fun, the reused footage becomes painful to sit through, and Eric's revisions to the Rutles backstory are pointless and serve no purpose but to piss all over the original (almost as if he was getting back at co-creator Neil Innes). Stick with the first movie, and ignore this one... it's a waste. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Nearly every joke is taken directly from the first. It'd honestly be better to watch the first one twice in a row than see this once. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
