Men in Black II [Blu-ray] [Includes Digital Copy]

Overview

Otherworldly villains are on the loose again, and it's up to Earth's interstellar police force to bring them to justice in this sequel to the sci-fi comedy blockbuster Men in Black. Agent Jay (Will Smith) has become a high-ranking member of the Men in Black, the secret government task force designed to deal with unruly visitors from other worlds, while his former cohort, Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), had his memory wiped clean and now lives a simple but contented life as a mailman. However, an especially nasty alien threat has reared its not-so-ugly head; Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle) is a shape-shifting Kylothian alien who is in pursuit of another escaped visitor who holds the key to powers that would allow her to destroy the world. Making Serleena all the more dangerous is the fact she's taken on the appearance of a lingerie model, making her irresistible to most men. When the rampaging Serleena takes control of the MIB offices, Jay is forced to turn to the only man who can help him save the world -- the former Agent Kay. After restoring Kay's memory, the two remaining Men in Black set out to conquer Serleena with a motley band of friendly aliens, including a handful of worm creatures and a talking dog named Frank (voice of Tim Blaney). Jay, meanwhile, has his head turned by Laura (Rosario Dawson), an attractive waitress who was an unwitting witness to an alien attack. Men in Black 2 also features Rip Torn, Tony Shalhoub, David Cross, Patrick Warburton, and Johnny Knoxville.

Editorial Reviews

Every bit as entertaining as its 1997 predecessor, this high-spirited, effects-laden romp reunites Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones for more sci-fi fun and explosive action. Director Barry Sonnenfeld, who also directed the first MiB, sticks pretty close to the winning formula he established for the initial film but mixes in a few new elements to spice things up. This time around, Lara Flynn Boyle portrays an evil alien who assumes a luscious humanoid form while paving the way for Earth's conquest. It falls to INS special agent Smith (working in the top-secret division entrusted with keeping tabs on visiting extraterrestrials) to bring the long-retired Jones back into the fold, because his ex-partner's brain holds the vital clue to identifying and apprehending the recently arrived invader. Smith's boyish demeanor and Jones's deadpan trouping make MiB II a real delight; moreover, they receive capable support from Boyle, Rosario Dawson, and returning cast members Rip Torn and Tony Shalhoub. Terrific makeup effects and computer-generated animation are employed skillfully, and some of the aliens (including one disguised as a bulldog) are just as funny as their human costars. Occasionally witty and always surreal, this madcap sequel is guaranteed to tickle the funny bones of those who loved the original. The two-disc DVD Collector's Edition features a Sonnenfeld commentary, as well as featurettes covering every aspect of MiB II's making, including production design, makeup, animatics, and other visual effects, sound recording, and music scoring. There's also an alternate ending, a music video by Will Smith, a blooper reel, and DVD-ROM content, including script-to-screen comparisons.
