Review Date is July 5, 2002
Action/Comedy-We find out in the beginning of the movie that a light that evil Serleena wants, so she can take over the universe (what else?). They want to keep it on Earth, but the Men in Black won't allow that, so they send it away. 25 years later, Serleena comes back and wants the light. The only person who knows where it is is the former MIB agent, now postal worker, Kay. The MIB has to reach him before Serleena so they can find the light before her. Complications ensue.

5/10-A mediocre sequel to a movie that didn't need a sequel. The plot was overdone, which I guess was to cover for the lack of comedy. The special effects were obvious, like the first, but that isn't a bad thing. More aliens came into play than the first one, and director Sonnenfeld expects us to remember who each one is, which is hard to do. There was a few funny spots, and it was a fun ride, but it can't compare to the original.
Rated PG-13 for some language, comic sci-fi violence, and gooey aliens.
