Directed by John Badham, Another Stakeout is six years too late as a sequel to Stakeout.
Rosie O'Donnell sucks, and everything she touches turns into shit. That's been the case here. Did Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio
Estevez need her to keep the comedy going? I thought they were doing fine on their own the last time. Instead, it's
Rosie who takes over and becomes the center of attention at the expense of everybody's screen time, and, for the love of
humanity, why?
I can't believe Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez shaved off their mustaches. The ill-advised move takes a lot away from
their characters. The former looks too old for the role; thankfully, he'll erase the memory of his work by appearing in
Mr. Holland's Opus to show everybody why he's better suited for dramas. The latter is
only an afterthought.
The plot is formulaic and repetitive. There are no laughs, and everything looks tired, having been done a billion of
times before. The ending is stupid and predictable. Of course, they were going to win at the end of the day. The stakeout operation
looks amateurish. How do these idiots have jobs? By the way, who has heard of a million-dollar home without a security system?
All in all, will somebody please explain to me the appeal of Rosie O'Donnell?
