i be on the opposite end of the previous comment . first of all and i do not think this be intend to be a straight sequel to the jerk . i mean and it not title the jerk 2. it the jerk and too and which lead me to believe that while a lot of the character name be the same and it actually revolve around a completely different person . think about it represent virtually no connection to the previous movie and other than character name while a totally different story while different cast while and the fact that it a partial musical . i say give this movie some credit . it do have plenty of laugh in it . mark blankfield at his prime .
