*UPDATED*
I dont understand all the 1-2 star reviews on this? I mean first, The Length could have some stuff been shaved off (like the Lunch in the beginning and the convo about being best friends/opening a flower shop) of course. I will say that was Becky was slain I looked at the run time and said out loud "How is there still 25 minutes left." Did this movie NEED To be 2 hours and 28 minutes? No, Absolutely no, but I commend for doing so and just going right for the wall with it.
But,I did find it a GREAT Follow up to the original,I wasnt too big on the original (I happen to think the remake is WAY Better) but for Meir to come back and take another shot at it, I thought it was pretty good. The characters were great, a little over acted (David) and Underacted (Jennifer at Lunch) but I think it added to the appeal. A major complaint seems to be that its basically the first movie again at around the 45 minute mark, well hence why its called Deja Vu.
For a forty year wait on a sequel to a movie I only somewhat thought was interesting, and the fact that I sat through the entire 2:28 run time and didnt pause,go to the bathroom,play on my phone etc. means something to me. Usually with 90 minute movies im on my phone goofing off etc I sat the entire time and watched this straight through.
Did it have one to many Zags for Zigs? Yes. Did it have some parts that were unbelievable? Like David could be heard getting pleasured but not the Gun Shot before it,Yes. Did it have some over and Under acting? Yes. Could you have shaved some time off anf made a shorter movie? Yes.
But would you have expected anything else from Meir? I still think the remake to the original is way better but this was a great follow up.
