More Babies
The babies are back. This time their inability to manage their finances get’s them suspended from the assassins guild, forcing them to look for alternative forms of employment to pay their bills.
This instalment sticks largely sticks to the same formula as the first one but leans a little more into the comedy. The action scenes are more overtly comedic, a set piece brawl in a bank setting an early inventive tone. Later, a squabble between the pair whilst dressed as fur-suited mascots overspills into a full on fight scene. It’s uproariously funny.
The script writers have clearly realised how well the chemistry between the two teenage slackers works. And so, as antagonists, they get in two more teenage slackers.
The plot, such as it is, is that two wanna-be assassins find out that the only way to get into the assassins guild is if another pair ‘retire’. So they set their sites on Mahiro and Chisato. But they’re both as big a loveable pair of goofballs as the titular assassins, so we end up with double the levels of doofus bickering and teenage awkwardness.
Sadly, the final fight scene follows the same set up as the first film but can’t come close to the same level of intensity. By this point the film has run out of ideas, but the laughs to get us here make it more than worth the while.
