Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) has moved on and married Megan (Jaime Pressly) who has a moody teen daughter (Ashley Rickards) and a son with an imaginary playmate. The haunting begins immediately as Malcolm has "an affair" with a haunted doll left behind from the previous owner, one that goes "Fatal Attraction" on him. Malcolm views home movies also left behind with the hanging people in the back yard and a guy who "looks as ugly as Steve Tyler." The daughter carries around a large found wooden box, which plays no other part than to be a source for crude box jokes.
The film is similar in style and humor to the original, i.e. if you loved that one, you should love this one. I had a few LOL moments, including when the dog died...my bad. The film also has crude moments and explicit sex talk. Some knowledge of drugs is helpful. OG Kush is marijuana and Molly is ecstasy.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity, and squirting.

MISS ME?
Slightly better than the first one
Which isn't saying much of course, but still. Especially if you consider the movies it parodies. Conjuring and Sinister were both great, Annabelle not so much. Of course the doll involved here (which is abused as much as possible, a thing you might find funny or not) has another name (close to Annabelle),not that you wouldn't know which doll it is supposed to be, from the likeness alone.
Mr. Wayans does hold back on anything, which will either delight you or appall you. Hopefully you'll find a thing or two to chuckle. One scene that did it a bit for me, was the one with the pump. It was almost (!) Monthy Python style. But it's one moment of very crazy silliness. On the other hand you get meta(?) jokes, such as "Scary movies are not any good without the Wayans" (I'm paraphrasing here). Not sure if you agree with the statement or think it's funny, but this is what you get ... and who knows, if the DVD/Blu Ray is successful, you might get another one of those ...
Getting back in the paranormal ways...
If you like the first "A Haunted House" movie, then you will also like this one, because it is initially the same kind of spoofy comedy in a genre that just won't die.
The comedy is fast paced and right up to par with the comedy seen in the first movie. And Marlon Wayans do pull it off nicely enough. While this is a comedy, it is not the kind that will have you bursting out in laughter while tears trickle down your cheeks. I think I only laughed once actually. But that being said, the movie isn't bad, nor is it boring. The comedy is good and serves the movie right. The comedy here is the type that will brighten up your mood and put a smile on your face.
Similar to the first movie, an entity is haunting Malcolm and making his life a living hell, especially when no one believes him as things escalate out of control.
I enjoy these spoof movies and always have, and this one is one of the better ones, especially because it is making fun of the ghost and horror genres of movies.
Like the first movie, I am rating "A Haunted House 2" a 6 out of 10 stars.
