When I was a kid, one of the things that I really liked to do was to go to the movie theaters on the weekends. As a matter of fact, a lot of the movies that were released from the mid to late 90s that I saw, I saw them at the theaters!
And one of these movies that I happen to watch at the theater during one of these weekend excursions was the movie, Men In Black (1997)! Now I happen to really enjoy this movie and was glad when I discovered, Men in Black 2 (2002):
Written by Robert Gordon (Galaxy Quest), Barry Fanaro (Kingpin) and Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld (RV). Starring: Will Smith (Independence Day), Tommy Lee Jones (The Sunset Limited), Rip Torn (Eulogy), Lara Flynn Boyle (Wayne's World), Rosario Dawson (Sin City), and Tony Shalhoub (Monk).
Men In Black 2, is the continuing story of Agent Jay (Smith), and Agent Kay (Jones), and the, Men In Black Organization! During this time, Agent Kay is working for a small town postal department and is living his old life as Kevin Brown! And Agent Jay is going through new partners as fast as humanly possible!

Now during this time a Kylothian Space Craft is carrying an Alien by the name of, Serleena (Boyle), who lands on earth to search for the, 'Light Of Zartha'. As Agent Jay begins his investigation in to the Kylothian ship and Serleena, Agent Jay comes to realize that the only way that Jay is going to solve this case is that he is going to have to bring Kay back in to the fold (despite the fact that Kay's memories of the men in black have been zapped!)
So as Jay figures out how to give Kay his memories back (so that the two can find the, 'Light Of Zartha'), and with Serleena having crippled MIB headquarters, it will be up to Jay... (and hopefully Kay) to save the world from the menace that is Serleena!

In my opinion this movie is not as good as the first one, it was definitely missing that love interest between Jay and Laurel (Played by: Linda Fiorentino) from the first Men In Black movie, and the some times comic nature of the communication between the Aliens and Men In Black was little over the top.
That was on the negative side, on the plus side, all the actors did do a fun job with what they had to work with, the special effects and camera work were a lot of fun, and Barry Sonnenfeld continued to bring a fun Men In Black movie to the big screen that will make it so that when you come out of that movie, you will not be disappointed but kind of pleased for having seen it!
