Eighteen years after the Brothers original mission from God, Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) is getting out of prison and discovering that much has changed in the time he s been away. His partner Jake is gone, his band is no longer together and the orphange where he grew up has been demolished. Elwood soon realises that he must embark on a whole new mission - to assemble the old band, this time with the help of a soulful bartender (John Goodman), compete at Queen Moussette's (Erykah Badu) Battle of the Bands and set a wayward orphan named Buster on the path to redemption. Special appearances by B.B King, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Johnny Lang, Blues Traveler, Eric Clapton and many more. It s an action packed comedy with lots of Rythmn and Blues. (Fabulous Films)

Some decisions are difficult to explain rationally. The Blues Brothers once upset me with its undemanding infantile spectacle, and I mercilessly gave the film a very poor review. I don't know what I was expecting to see when I started watching the sequel. Landis has not matured after 20 years and has stuck to straightforward crazy humor that definitely won't occupy more than a few of your nerve cells - and by a few, I truly mean two. Those who liked the first film will not be disappointed. It has the same absence of a meaningful plot, only this time, John Belushi was replaced by John Goodman. For me, it's a complete waste of time and I got the feeling that they completely missed the mark. Overall impression: 25%. If it weren't for a few musical numbers, the level of my despair would be absolute.
