If you missed the first one, you’re in luck. You have another opportunity to miss the sequel.

Jimmy “The Tulip” Tudeski (Bruce Willis), who faked his death in the original movie to get away from the gangster buddies he ratted on, is now living in Mexico and married to assassin-wannabe Jill (Amanda Peet). Jimmy spends his days perusing “Gourmet” magazine for new recipes and cleaning the house – in furry pink bunny slippers. Jill thinks Jimmy is crazy. This must be fiction.

Oz Oseransky (Matthew Perry) is also living the good life, with his stolen millions, Jimmy’s ex-wife, Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge), and a mansion full of guns and security gadgets. Unlike Jimmy, the bumbling Oz knows that Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak), patriarch of the Hungarian Gogolak mob, is eventually going to get out of jail and come after them for killing his son (also Kevin Pollak, in the previous movie, but without the wig, makeup and glasses). Cynthia thinks Oz is crazy.

Despite Oz’s precautions, Lazlo manages to kidnap Cynthia (quite easily), which sends Oz running to Jimmy down in Mexico, thus revealing Jimmy’s hideout. During the ensuing shootout, they escape “back” to L.A., where Oz soon discovers that Jimmy and Cynthia had been planning this all along, in order to get Lazlo’s money and kill him. Which they don’t, in the end, because of a twist.  A twist which, strangely enough, renders the entire film senseless. Of course, that’s how I’d characterize the whole film.
