The reviews for the meta-sequel are generally mixed, with critics praising the chemistry between stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd but often finding the film's "meta" approach and conflicting tones to be uneven . While some audiences and critics found it to be a fun, "turn-your-brain-off" comedy, others felt it lacked the genuine thrills of the 1997 original and suffered from poor CGI and a disjointed script.
