Wow. It seems like if you see this movie, you will either absolutely hate it, or absolutely love it! The movie had an interesting dynamic. It was hard to determine exactly what category this movie was meant for. It seemed to be targeted more towards kids with all of the high-jinks and buffoonery, but then there was far too much swearing in it to let kids watch.

I let my 10 and 8 year old brother and sister watch it, and they loved it! I watched it for Tony Danza, who was still very green at the time, but still managed to pull it off. Danny DeVito was brilliant, like always, and I would recommend you keep an open mind if you plan on watching this movie.

The entire movie was superb. But, then why do so many people think it sucks? I'll tell you why.

All people who saw this movie immediately compared it to the first one. And you can't do that, because although the movies were practically identical in plot, they were nothing alike. "2000" was like a RE-MAKE of the first movie, only aimed at a different audience. The problem was, the audience of the first movie saw it and was expecting it to be like a continuation of the original. That simply wasn't the case. The original movie was reflection of the late 70's, and all those who fell for the Blues Brothers when they were actually performing live absolutely loved the cult classic.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the first movie, but it has that certain feel that you just don't get in the second movie.

You could tell that "2000" was more or less going for the whole "family film" feel (thus "the kid", a younger member of the cast with whom younger children could identify with). You know, kinda like "Honey I Shrunk the Kids"? My two younger siblings prefer the second movie to the first one, just because of the kid.

Over all, when taking the movie for what it is, it's very good. The acting, writing, and especially the music are well worth it. If you haven't seen the first movie yet, rent them both at the same time, watch this one first (with the kids), then send the kids to bed and watch the original, but don't expect them to be anything alike.

I also found it interesting that it took three whole people to make up for all of the aspects found in the late, great, John Belushi.

Rating : A+

I've found that most ratings are based on comparing the movie they've watched to a different movie. Well, Nothing But Trouble can't be compared to any other movie on the face of the earth. You can't say it wasn't good, because in it's own little world, I'm sure it was an excellent movie. I, however was afraid to put my feet on the floor while watching it. It wasn't scary, just disturbing. As for the acting, it was phenominal. Everyone was very convincing as far as their characters went. When watching this movie, just keep in mind that it's an Aykroyd Brothers Creation, so brace yourself for weird and expect the unexpected. If you're into reality programming, this is NOT the movie for you! Other than that, it was pretty good.

Screamingly funny with an outrageous cast! The movie was somewhat unpredictable in a sence that it was just about impossible to guess what happens next. It was realistic in the way that not everything goes perfect with putting on a play, and when you have dramatic events going on behind the scenes as well, it can only add to the hilariouty! I defenatly recommend!
