reception
“Director Ken Finkleman directorial debut is by no means a continuation of the cult film by Zucker-Abraham-Zucker, as a rather tired copy of its brilliant and highly comical gags. Even the cast was largely taken over. Very silly, but quite entertaining for nonsense friends and with many allusions to Hollywood and the White House including the President. "
"Conclusion: Galactic gag fireworks in space."
“Continuation of the 'unbelievable journey' with an abundance of gags, taste insecurities and folly. Especially entertaining for nonsense friends due to the multitude of allusions to Hollywood and the White House (including President) in Washington. "
