Review of The Vexxer

The Vexxer (2007)
9/10
A seldom treat: A sequel which surpasses it's predecessor
25 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
When the first movie came out, the crew announced it was only the first part of a trilogy. So there's still more to come...

The first movie had first class comedians in cameos, but this is topped here. Watch for Fank Zander as pimp "Fred Fartwind", see Achim Menzel as mentally impaired musician behind bars, buy totally crappy CDs from Willemsen, try to find out where Hella von Sinnen is hiding herself during the movie... and see Vadder Abraham as Smurf-Bouncer(!)

While they could not get all the veterans of the original movies for their first offering, basically everybody still alive is there: Fuchsberger, Winter, Howland, van Bergen, Völz... It's tragic that these movies come to late for Eddi Aren't, as his health situation prevents him from doing movies any more. Even more if you think about his last roles were in the ill-fated made-for-TV Wallace "wanna-be-funny" remakes.

This movie has more and better action sequences, lots (and I mean LOTS) of in-jokes (Smurf-Song!), slapstick and even some minor plot twists.

Watch out for the crazy credits (it's not mentioned at IMDb).
