Leave your thoughts about Another Stakeout.
| St. Louis Post-DispatchHarper BarnesThe most amazing thing about Another Stakeout is that even though some of its skits are dopey and cloying and its plot recycled and derivative, the movie is still very amusing. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAmiably undemanding...Exhausted though the action-cop-buddy-comedy genre is, Another Stakeout manages to be fairly entertaining. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis one holds its flavor better than most. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeHad the movie surrounding this easygoing trio been more memorable, the possibility of "Yet Another Stakeout" might actually be appealing. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevySillier, less entertaining than the first picture |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonRichard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez still make as copacetic a team as they did six years ago...[but] Another Stakeout feels like warmed-over stuff, Badham's belated attempt to create his own "Lethal Weapon" franchise. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAnother Stakeout offers unfettered (and largely mindless) fun. The humor ranges from mildly amusing to downright hilarious, and the action scenes are handled with an eye for pacing and tension. Perhaps because of the absence of romantic chemistry, the second Stakeout isn't as good as the first, but it's still a worthy successor. Since virtually everyone involved in the 1987 picture is back, the sense of continuity is seamless, both in big and little things. For those looking for uncomplicated summer entertainment, Another Stakeout fills the bill adequately. |
| EmpireAngie ErrigoA typical 90's comedy featuring staples Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez who re-hash their 'cheeky cops' schtick from the first picture and are now joined by O'Donnell who tries to inject more humour allowing us to forgive the lack of an engaging story. Sadly this is where all three fail. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonAnother Stakeout -- like the original, directed by John Badham -- feels more like a rousing encore than a bold, new development. It's basically straight-out situation comedy, merely punctuated (or interrupted) by the evil doings of hitmen, FBI agents and other gun-toting suits. To those who seek these things, don't worry: People still get plugged with bullets. But comedy is the main artillery and Dreyfuss and Estevez, effortlessly replaying their elbow-nudging relationship, do most of the shooting. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThere’s one funny bit in Another Stakeout — a dysfunctional dinner party — but director John Badham puts more energy into high-tech chase sequences featuring the neighborhood pets than he does into refining the comic chemistry of his stars. |
