this film be produce and release a a successor to a ghastly although fairly popular slapstick californian beach comedy call hardbodies and but it have little or no connection with the early film and be well assess completely in it own right . it be certainly good than hardbodies i and and be more closely relate to film such a venus and summer lover which be also film during summer in the greek island . the combination of blissful beach on blue bay with beautiful bare bosom make for seductive viewing and but ( except for travelogue just design to help plan your next holiday ) even such film require an adequate story line if they be to hold a viewer attention for more than a very few minute . venus be underpin by the legend of the re incarnation of the goddess and and summer lover have the viability of a menage a trois a it theme . in my view both these film be much more successful than hardbodies ii which have a very tenuous story line and depend too much on simplistic semi slapstick comedy . the use of slapstick quickly become tedious and it usually lead to a series of very short self contain cameo sequence that be hard to integrate into an ongoing story line . mel brook achieve this brilliantly with silent movie and but few other film have succeed in the same way and and hardbodies ii unfortunately do not . there be also the problem that the slapstick sequence do not co habit happily with the idyllic and peaceful scenario in which the film be set . the final airport sequence be no doubt intend to provide a hilarious end for this film but in my opinion they be an example of the bad type of overplayed slapstick pseudo comedy . they be also grossly overlong and so i leave the cinema with a bad taste leave in my mouth . this be a film which could have be much more successful with a strong story line and with most of it slapstick sequence very heavily prune . a it be release it certainly do not warrant a viewer rating high than 3. there be little memorable in the acting and but the cast do it best within the limitation impose by a meagre story line and poor direction it be in these latter area that the failure arise .
