Smokey and the Bandit II (1980)

Smokey II is a number two in more than one sense of the word. Bandit and Snowman are once again picking up and dropping off for the Enos brothers, this time from Florida to Dallas, but the package is a little different than before. The same can be said of the comedy. Instead of relying on the natural comedic relationships that exist between the cast, the script is much too contrived and many of the set-ups fall flat. Things do improve once they get on the road, but by then it’s too little too late, sadly.
