Sajid Khan's Housefull which released a few years back was something hard to digest and wierd to sit through. Now, he's back with Housefull 2 with a star cast the size of a cricket team and it is funny in parts.
To start with, no one seems to understand as to why the title "Housefull 2" as it had no connection to the previous movie. It has a plot which is age old and so illogical and silly that you would want to run away from the theatre soon after the first few scenes.
The movie is both funny and boring. Now that's the most interesting part. Major chunk of the movie is like "ewww..lame" and still there are some parts where you do jump from your seat and clap and laugh. The dialogues are so funny and pun intended that it does evoke laughter but not so much that you start loving the movie.
Throughout the movie, you feel that all scenes were taken at one shot. Asin puts her hands into her top 's pocket but struggles to get it out and you see the legendary Mithun da looking back at the director and giving a look "Was that fine?" and that too in the middle of a song. The whole movie is set in UK but both Rishi and Randhir (Chittoo and Dabboo) seem to be interested in US dollars in the land of pounds. Small errors but it does make a great impact.
Among all the bad performing protagonists, Akshay Kumar stands apart for he's by far the most experienced in silly comedy (atleast in the given sample set although he is very bad at it). His comic sense provides us some real time comic relief. Johnny Lever too plays an amusing and laughter arousing part.
Asin Thottumkal and Jacquelin Fernandes are somehow present only for skin show because they do not know how to act (especially in a wannabe comedy film) but they do know how to shake their booty well (to arouse people). The other 2 women do not like wearing anything at all.
I wouldn't say that "Keep your brains at home and go watch the movie!". That would convey the wrong message and you will love the movie if you did. I think you should take all parts of your brain and put it to work while watching the movie because that is when you'll enjoy it more. You will laugh when it is funny and you will also laugh when it is stupid and illogical.
The best part of the movie is the second half which also includes a scene with the yesteryear villain Ranjeet. His part was a genuine source of laughter.
Housefull 2 is fun yet lame. It is a movie which hasn't been QC-ed one bit but it's definitely worth watching. Could have been a bit shorter. Housefull 2 also has veteran actors going berserk. You see the never before shades and sides of them and then you say "WTH!"
Rating: #DIV/0! (Can't rate it!)
Housefull 2: Not a slapstick comedy but will make you slap yourself with a stick and will still make you laugh at yourself!
