Less compelling than the first, but fun for fans.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 28, 2010

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 10, 2003

Follows so closely in the footsteps of its hugely successful predecessor that an actual review is practically unnecessary.

| Original Score: C+ | May 9, 2002

The whole film plays like an outtake, and that I do mean as a compliment.

While the rest of it isn't really any good, it's certainly no chore to watch.

| Aug 7, 2001

The film seems content to rely on the formula that could (small sigh) extend for a few more sequels.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 6, 2001

A sequel that is every bit as satisfying as its predecessor.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 6, 2001

Where fools rush in.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 4, 2001

For fans of the still-youthful franchise, this movie's going to hit the spot.

About half as much fun as the original, and for August, that's probably good enough.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 3, 2001

Delivers its share of laughs, but offers nothing you haven't already seen.

Full Review | Aug 3, 2001

As long as it's entangled in multi-culti absurdity, Rush Hour 2 is actually a better time than the first one.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 3, 2001

It's possible to detect a somewhat calmer, more controlled disposition in this sequel compared with its predecessor.

| Aug 3, 2001

Nobody expects this to be, say, The French Connection, but it should make a little more sense.

| Aug 3, 2001

Provides a little dance in its step to lift it above the shrill or the innocuous.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 3, 2001

Chan and Tucker go through their paces with the confidence and flair of trapeze artists who know they can rely on each other.

Full Review | Aug 3, 2001

Yet another sequel sadly not up to the job of matching its predecessor.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 3, 2001

How can a movie allow [Tucker] to be so obnoxious and make no acknowledgment that his behavior is aberrant?

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 3, 2001

Better than its predecessor, and that goes for everything from the fight scenes to Chan's grasp of English.
