Better than Police Academy 4
15 November 2020
You know how some sequels are considered better than the original? Terminator 2, Aliens, Road Warrior, and, of course, Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol.

Well, in my book (Blartmania, coming early 2021 from Viking Press) you can add Paul Blart 2 to that list. PB2(as the fans, aka, Blartheads, call it) takes all the elements from PB1 and amps them up 11. (That's a reference to a movie that's not nearly as funny as either PB 1 or PB2, btw)

PB2 has it all: a David Lynch-inspired scene featuring a piano player and a peacock, an old lady getting punched in the stomach, the Fabulous Thunderbirds "Wrap It Up", and an avant-garde stage show that makes "Goddess" from "Showgirls" look like "A Private Dance", also from "Showgirls".

Throw in vibrating forks, a KISS tribute band composed of little people (yeah, a KISS tribute band made up of little people. Bet you wish you had though of that, don't you, Mr. Failed Comedy Writer?) and Adam Sandler's wife and what do you have?

Only the best sequel ever made.
