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?

[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.

[LatinaGOP]

I haven't paid to see Julia Roberts in a movie in about 6 years although I loved "Pretty Woman" and rom coms are my guilty pleasure. You are definitely not alone.

[HitmanLV]

Just go enjoy the movie if you are anxious to see it, wait till DVD if you aren't that anxious, and otherwise don't sweat it.

Streisand made her money for her performance in the film - you dropping $5.50 for a matinee, or $3 to rent the DVD, won't make a big difference

Most of the most obnoxios celebs are ones that I don't support at the box office, anyway. I enjoy Larry David's HBO series and won't watch it any less because he is a nauseating democrat and his trophy wife hosted the 'hate bush' dinner a while back (I suppose she has the need to feel significant). That's just one example.

I can't think of any celeb or music star who alienated me enough to not patronize their product, but that says more about my taste (they were not folks I supported anyway), than it says about my commitment to avoiding their work.

Just enjoy the movie.

[truthandlogic]

I agree. My list is getting longer and longer. They will not get my money. I will not support their anti-American, anti-military sentiments.

There are a few good ones out there, and they will continue to get my support.

[Cyclopean Squid]

I say enjoy the art while dismissing the artist (as I'll generously call actors). Why should you deny yourself entertainment because of the perversity of the actors who are but a vehicle for the story? Music lovers have long since resolved their adoration for Wagner's operas with their contempt for his worldview. On a much lower artistic level, we can surely ignore an actor's supine philosophy while enjoying a flick.
