After that 70's show she really made some good film choices. This one is kinda iffy. Especially when billed as "Part 2" you sorta expect something similar to the original, not slap stick comedy. But is is a decent comedy, just don'e expect ANYTHING like the original. Because you will be disappointed. How the writers came up with this using the title of the movie is confusing. It's a light, snarky teen comedy. Not the dark suspense of the original. But to each their own. I just thought viewers needed to know what they are getting into because AP was a great disturbing film. That fulfilled it's title well. This one is a little deceiving, but seeing Kunis AND SHATNER in the credits would make most figure it can't be ANYTHING like the original. Their careers are not drawn down that dark path

At the age of 12, Rachael (Mila Kunis) is held captive by Patrick Bateman along with her babysitter. She manages to escape leaving behind a dead Patrick. She doesn't tell anybody and becomes fascinated with psycho killers. Six years later, she's an ace student eagerly attending professor Starkman (William Shatner)'s class. She is pushing to be the new class assistant and on the fast track to the FBI. But the school administrator doesn't let freshmen apply. That's before she was murdered by a hooded killer. Brian (Robin Dunne) is a scheming rich boy with poor grades who is underhandedly pushing for the same job.Mary Harron is gone. Of course, Christian Bale is nowhere to be seen. That's not all there is to the changes. The tone is all light weight. It feels like Nancy Drew takes up killing. That music just makes everything worst. So one must abandon the original to see this movie for what it is and not what one wants it to be. A serial killing Nancy Drew is not the worst concept. I wish it was done better and without that annoying music. About halfway thru, there is a nice little reveal. It changes the tone temporarily to something better but it changes back. That music and the comical tone just makes this movie feel very cheesy. Even the final reveal which is nice cannot save this.

OK, I feel as though that there could have been a lot more done with the film, but for some odd reason the movie was shot in 20 days, not much room for a true masterpiece to be created in my perspective. A lot of people were critiquing Mila Kunis's acting in the film and how they found her sexy but yet annoying, well she was really young, like 16 or 17 years old I believe she said,but obviously she is given these roles and well respected as an actress for a reason, and she worked the role to the best of her abilities, yet i digress.. the movie picks up at Patrick Bateman's demise, she was supposed to be being watched by her baby sitter, but was tagged along on a horrific evening on which she was luckily able to survive from, but it was to be expected, to kill the little girl would have been cruel and ended the movie very quickly, especially since that is what are plot is based upon. My problem with the film is only this, I understand she only stayed in college due to the fact that she killed the actual Rachel Newman and had taken her identity, and that she eagerly desired to be an FBI agent to bring justice and prevent things such as what happened to her baby sitter from happening again to anyone else and could only further her chances of achieving that goal by becoming the professor's assistant. My question is, was her character equally demented as Patrick Bateman to top the 1st, because her pursuit overclouded her judgement, and that in itself I suppose answered my own question, but the very reason for killing all of these people defeated her purpose for being there, that's my problem. She was a very smart woman though and made it a very entertaining film to watch, it was given sex appeal with out the sex, she was very good about how she tidied up her messes and how she extracted her kills, yes it may have been less gory, but smart & sexy to say the least, I do not intend to judge upon how attractive she was,cause she is, but it was well acted, but that's just my opinion, watch it again if you must, really dig deep into the plot, do some research on how it was filmed, and let it be judged by that

The film has received a lot of negative reviews what comes as a really surprise to me. OK, it wasn't really a sequel to American psycho, it was a movie on it's own. The only thing the both have in common is the title. Other than that, it should've been judged as a completely different film, that gave a completely different serial-killer standpoint. As far as the original with Christian Bale, it was a masterpiece, mind-blowing performance, truly a classic. However, when people expect the very same thing, they get disappointed, because it's nothing like that at all.The film doesn't take itself too seriously, it's neither a horror film nor twisted psychological flick. It takes an easy and ironical approach as well as it contains a lot of black-comedy elements. Mila Kunis gives a great performance as a cold, callous, obsessed serial killer, who is going to do anything it takes to achieve her goals. For sure, it's not an Oscar-worthy performance, however it was convincing and given her age, she really pulled it off. Now she's on her way to become a big thing.To wrap up, I would recommend to watch this flick with a clear head, be uncommitted and don't expect the same kind of atmosphere and attitude as the first one, since it has no connection as far as genre and representation goes.
