American Psycho II: All American Girl [Region 2] Reviews:
One Reason to Watch This Film (But don't pay money for it)
2008-11-09 - This film is in stark contrast to the Original "American Psycho," which had good actors, story, and philosophical depth, whereas this so-called sequel was almost a complete waste. However, WILLIAM SHATNER has a big role in this film and therefore, this movie, (despite the fact that it's an insult to the original... poorly written, doesn't even have a remotely believable plot and is one of the crappiest movies of all time...) is still worth watching because, thanks to the Shat, it has cult appeal. Not the kind of cult appeal that the original has, no, but cult appeal nonetheless. Just do yourself a favor and watch this piece of crap when it comes free to on demand cable or something. Don't pay money for it Not even a dollar. You'd be better off buying a lottery ticket. I give this film two stars. If the Shat wasn't in this film, I would give it zero stars, or perhaps negative stars. It's unfortunate that I paid three whole dollars for the DVD. I was FLEECED!!!

just disgusted
2008-10-10 - Goi it on DVR, almost bought it cuz it was the sequel to my fav movie. I was so saddened by how terrible it was. Maybe a yuppie into cute girl movies wold like it, but if you like anything about Christian bales take on serial killers, dont ever, ever consider this. Acting was good if not boring, kills were spoken over with terrible narration, captain kirk wasnt even a good actor. I now have to completely remove this from my mind...

Not
2008-09-04 - When I first saw American Psycho 2 at the store, I went this must be so cool - it's a sequel to American Psycho how could it be bad. Well I wouldn't say it's the worst movie I've ever seen, it's not a worthy successor to the original. Mila Kunis (that chick from "That 70's Show") plays the lead killer in this movie. I'm sorry but she can come even within 10 percent of the quality that Christian Bale brought to the original movie. The movie kind of drags on and I can say that this style of movie is not the best vehicle for Kunis.

I'm sure they could have picked worse actresses so I won't say the film is entirely her fault. The link between this movie and hte original is that Kunis's character had a babysitter that dated and was attacked by Patrick Bateman in front of her. She stabs Bateman - fast forward a few years until she is in college. She studying criminology and eventually becomes a killer. Gone are the nuances of the original. The wondering if it was all in her head or real. This is a straight up B movie slasher film. It discredits the original by having the link and the title it shares.

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.
