Loved the first one- won't see this one if Babs is involved. And I actually have a very high tolerance for loony-celebs. It's just that BS goes over the line with me.

[Question Liberal Authority]

If you don't find Barbara Streisand entertaining, then what is the point of trying to be entertained by her?

[wideawake]

(1) Word on the street is that the sequel is nowhere near as good as the original.

(2) Boycotting these idiots is the only thing that works. I won't be giving them any more of my money.

[JoanneSD]

You are not alone.. I for one have given up on hollywood entertainment...in fact quite a while ago... there is a life beyond movies.....

[TheMightyQuinn]

um, download the movie on the internet for free? If it wasn't illegal, that would be the perfect solution. Next best, wait until it comes out on video, and watch it when your buddy rents it.

[Xenalyte]

Nope. Can't watch Barbra Streisand, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, Jessica Lange, or Alec Baldwin anymore. Don't miss 'em, either.

[Spok]

Streisand is a natural for this role. She's the mother, right?

[dfwgator]

Looks to me they misspelled the last name of Streisand's character.

[Astronaut]

Its a no-brainer for me. I hate Ben Stiller with a passion. Never seen a more un-funny "comedian" in my life. His movies all suck. If he weren't bad enough, the presence of the odious Babs Streisand would keep me from seeing this movie. I hope it bombs big time - like a Ben Affleck movie.

[The Hollywood Conservative]

I would wait for it to come to TBS... Which should be in about 20 minutes from now...

[Xenalyte]

I'd also point out that there has only been ONE sequel in the whole history of movie-making that was worth any damn thing at all: Aliens. Every single other sequel has sucked.

(Before you purists start in on me, I do not consider the Star Wars movies to have prequel/sequel status. They're all one humongous story that Lucas chose to break into nine chapters.)

[leadpencil1]

I am incapable of separating the fly shi* (entertainers) from the pepper (their "art") so I just refuse to watch or listen, if I have any control over the situation, which in my case is most of the time.

[Barney Gumble]

That is a tough question. I probably would go watch the movie, except for several select actors (Streisand, Moore, Baldwin, Sarandon, etc)…. Which unfortunately includes Streisand. I love Ben Stiller and I was gutted to hear that “Babs” is in it, because I’m in the dilemma as well. It’s like one of my favorite movies, Shawshank Redemption has been soured since Tim Robbins has joined the ultra wacko left community.

In short, I don’t what to do either?

[Question Liberal Authority]

Let's flip this around. Suppose George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Condi Rice, Sean Hannity, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft and Ann Coulter all got together and staged a production of Hamlet. Do you imagine that Michael Moore or Tim Robbins could sit through it without being irritated?

[machman]

Maybe you are just no longer in the "circle of trust". ;^)

[JaguarXKE]

I absolutely, positively will NOT watch anything with Babs in it (nor Alec Baldwin nor Sean Penn, nor...you get the idea)

[the invisib1e hand]

deal with it.

[Kiss Me Hardy]

Disagree. Saw "Zoolander" a couple of weeks after 9/11 and Stiller really cheered me up.

Of course, he's no Adam Sandler.....

[WILDBILLIE]

I really liked Jon Bon Jovi but I will never watch him again because of his support of Kerry. Laura was right they should just shut up and sing.
