American Psycho 2 Reviews: A brilliant social satire disguised as fantasy  2008-06-18 - The monologues and dialogues of this movie are among the best you can find in the movie industry. The performance of Mila Kunis is just perfect. I am glad this social satire is not spoiled by too many grisly scenes. Don't view it as a movie about serial killers. It is about a type of people we are all familiar with. If you love Moliere, you will love this movie.
Very interesting sequel to a classic  2008-05-16 - ==SPOILER WARNING==
"American Psycho 2" is one of those sequels that people either love or hate, and only rarely based upon the quality of the actual film. A much-repeated phrase is "this would be a good movie with a different title". Huh? I never quite understood that way of thinking. It reminds me of the opinions I got from people who were fans of the rock band the Doors. After the singer Jim Morrison died the Doors continued for two more albums that hardly anyone wants to listen to. Why? "the Doors without Morrison? forget it". As if the only records in the universe worth listening to are ones with that particular singer. Once I made that point the illogic of their argument was revealed and they listened to the two albums and really liked them. Good music is good music.
Same here. This movie wouldn't be any better or worse with a different title. I feel "American Psycho 2" (not all prints carry the subtitle "All American Girl") is almost the equal of it's predecessor. And not only for actually confirming that Bateman did indeed kill at least *some* people, but for the film's point of view. While the first movie was a stunning and biting satire of self-obsessed yuppies, "2" is aiming at the college crowd, the vapid kids with a frightening sense of entitlement and sum-zero convictions. The psycho Rachel here is somehow even more bizarrely sympathetic than Patrick, to a point, even with there being no true ambiguity as to the sequence of events. After the murder of a billionaire's son we know it's Rachel behind the killing, yet it doesn't take away from the narrative. Two unexpected and satisfying twists aside, there's no mystery here; the brilliance is entirely in it's own universe and following it's own catharsis. To condemn "American Psycho 2" for it's somewhat stilted commercial construction and gaps in logic is missing the point entirely. This is a great film. It's not pretentious in presenting itself as a sequel because it really does fit- Bateman would be proud.
Or not. If the idea of a sequel nags at you, call it something else. If the revelation that Bateman was a serial killer is worrisome, then I guess the premise of "American Psycho 2" is just insurmountable. Skip it. But you're missing out on a terrific film.
Great Movie, depending on what you are looking for  2008-05-04 - If you're looking for a movie just like American Psycho the original, you will probably be disappointed. The movie would probably be better appreciated if the movie had a completely different name.
I can understand the poor reviews and low ratings because these people were expecting a Horror movie. This is NOT one. That doesn't make it a bad movie though.
This movie is MEANT to be be funny sort of like the "Scream" series. The humor and twists and turns are VERY clever. You'll probably be surprised by a couple things by the end. Mila Kunis is very believable in this role.
The goofiness of William Shatner as the professor is intended and adds to the film.
Standrad direct to DVD filler  2008-03-25 - American Psycho 2 is your standard direct to video film. The film really isn't anything to write home about. I mean Mila Kunis gives an okay performace( although she could have showed some T& A). William Shatner gives an timid performance as a teacher deep dishin his students and everyone else is pretty much no name. The film does have some one-liners but that is it
Made me want to crawl in the microwave  2008-02-10 - I can't honestly say I've seen a worse movie sequel. And there are some good ones out there. I thought M.K. was rather cute in that 70's show, but it appears that WAS her acting ability. Cute fluffy lines and flipping of the hair.
I think Shatner threw himself out of the window when he realized what a clunker of a movie this was. Bad acting, bad dialogue. It couldn't make up it's mind whether it was horror or camp and failed at both.
No wonder we've not seen her in anything since. This girl has NO talent.
