If you liked Tales of the City, keep those memories boxed up because this one is radically different, even if it does feature many of the same characters. It took me a long time to get involved in the proceedings but when I did, I went with it all the way. It doesn't hold the same spell as the first film and it focuses too much on Michael (who has become quite a shallow, vapid tramp), as well as has far too much gratuitous nudity but heck! Just go with it!Full-frontal boredom - cubertus
If you loveed "Tales of the City", don't watch this. Aside from the quirky and stellar performance of Jacie Burroughs as Mother Mukka, and a couple of full-frontal shots of guys who either have big-time implants or significant medical issues, it doesn't have much going for it.
The fey and sentimental Anna Madrigal has faded now to a memory hidden somewhere in Olympia Dukakis' memory banks. The flirtation with Jim Jones and the Jonestown Massacre reaches new heights of tackiness when the his body (whoops, I seem to be giving away vital plot info here) can only be identified (he's had plastic surgery and a change of skin colour) by taking off his pants.
I think this may be more of a rant than a review. There's not much to review there, and I feel better now.
