i love the first film . the second well and a we all know and we do not have john belushi with u anymore and which be one strike right there . the filmmaker make the good choice of john goodman and joe morton a backup singer . have they stop there and the film would have be much well . instead and a kid be throw into the mix . an orphan and of course . awwww . elwood blue be suppose to act a mentor for the kid ( buster ) and but forgets to return buster to the orphanage and get half the cop in the country and several mean orphanage worker on his tail . now and the whole point of the first blue brother film be that these guy can not stay out of trouble . the character of elwood and with or without brother jake and be go to get himself in it up to his eyeball . the whole story about elwood be chase for kidnapping be ludicrous . elwood be go to get in trouble for one thing or another . it do not have to be kidnap . thus and we end up listen to a prepubescent kid squall the line of a damned good song and one that be belt out by three fine singer ( aykroyd and goodman and and morton ) and thus ruin the whole effect . it no wonder that the blue brother lose the battle of the band i would have boo them offstage for bring a kid into the mix . there an cloying and aren not we cute gushiness about buster and his little blue brother outfit that almost gag me . i love the musical number and all the guest artist and what an impressive group they be . so i can not understand why the filmmaker would drag down the storyline by introduce a kid and and throw in all the clichés associate with a small child interact with adult . the kid be precocious . he ( supposedly and though i see no evidence of it ) a good singer . he give a pep talk at the crucial time . he easy to bond with . it just doesn not work . i will watch it for the music and for elwood highly inventive method of parallel parking and but i fast forward through buster scene .
