Little more than an exercise in fan-service nostalgia, this sequel to the underrated 1988 Eddie Murphy romcom often plays like a cosplay remake. While it is fun to see almost the entire original cast return to play these characters again, the callbacks mostly fall flat and the efforts to update the story's gender politics actually feel regressive.
