Nice movie. It’s exactly 10 years after Get Shorty, but from old cast they left only Travolta, DeVito and Harvey Keitel. The rest of the cast is new. Basically the whole movie (as the predecessor) is about Chilli Palmer, couple of gangs and couple of moguls-to-be trying to set up each other in order to get a contract on rising star singer Linda Moon. Martin Weir adoring Palmer’s new car (guess what kind of cadillac he got this time). Unfortunately there’s not much after this about Martin Weir, but there’s a lot of various gangsters, russians (geez, where the hell thew saw russians like these?), white gangsters who speak like black gangsters, black gangsters who speak like president of Harvard University. Uma Thurman is great, John Travolta is great, rest of the crowd playing pretty much themselves, so it’s no big deal. Two really bright moments - the very beginning where Chilli Palmer talks about sequels and in the middle of the movie the speech that Cedric the Entertainer gives to the russians.
It all boils down to this - if you have an evening to kill, and if you saw Get Shorty - go for this one. It’s not Oskar movie, but well worth your ten bucks.
