\"\"<\/a>Critters 2: The Main Course<\/em><\/strong> might not be as good as the original, but the humor still mostly worked and I actually enjoyed the interactions between the critter bounty hunters, each of them providing a bit more personality (and seriously, wouldn\u2019t have minded seeing some sort of spin-off).<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>It\u2019s been two years since the fiendish Critters first terrorized the town of Grovers Bend and sent the Brown family packing. But the \u201cboy who called Critter,\u201d Brad Brown (SCOTT GRIMES), is back… and just in time. Critter eggs have been hatching lethal litters, and the bloodthirsty hairballs are eager to partake in their favorite pastime \u2013 a field full of livestock becomes a gigantic feeding ground, and local residents are disappearing by the mouthful. Fortunately, three bounty hunters from space, Ug (TERRENCE MANN), Lee (RANDY SPEARS\/ROXANNE KERNOHAN) and Charlie (DON OPPER), are flying back to eradicate the problem. But can they wipe out the Critters before Grovers Bend is erased from the map?<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>This sequel to Critters<\/em>, which apparently did well enough on home video to warrant it, was actually… okay. The movie did have some of the quirky slapstick humor that I\u2019m generally not a fan of, but the story was alright and there were certainly some fun moments, especially between the bounty hunters. Once again, the effects work and creatures design was well done as were the performances from Scott Grimes, Liane Curtis and, especially, Barry Corbin replacing M. Emmett Walsh as the town sheriff.<\/p>\n

Mick Garris takes over directing duties with a script by David Twohy, director of the Pitch Perfect<\/em> trilogy and writer behind several high profile projects like The Fugitive<\/em> and Waterworld<\/em>. Critters 2: The Main Course<\/em><\/strong> might not have the magic of the first movie, but was definitely entertaining enough.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
