yea jim was out because he didnt think it was going to live up to the first. producers knew there wouldnt be a movie without jim, so they regrouped and all is back on track.
im hoping for a good one, but im not sure its possible to top the first one. its easily top 5 best comedys ever made. plus, the first one was done family friendly, which is nearly impossible to keep funny yet they did. i think if the 2nd one is going to stand a chance theyll have to race it up substantially.. but i doubt they will.
