Biggest Swing

The film drops from its comedic peak during the cinema spying scene to its lowest point when Sarah refuses to compete, a swing of 2.3 points.

Critics found this sequel predictable but harmless family entertainment, with Steve Martin and Eugene Levy's performances anchoring formulaic but occasionally amusing slapstick. While most gags fell flat and the script was weak, the film's heart and family values message, plus standout moments like the cinema scene, made it acceptable viewing. The overall reception was lukewarm but not dismissive, landing squarely in 'decent family fare' territory.
