Otra Emboscada
Trama
"Otra Emboscada" retoma la historia donde la comedia original de 1987 la dejó, reuniendo al detective Chris Lugo (Emilio Estevez) y a su compañero Bill Reuben (Alexei Sayle) para otra ronda de deberes de vigilancia. Esta vez, el dúo tiene la tarea de vigilar de cerca una casa junto al lago donde se cree que un testigo de un juicio de la Mafia se esconde o se dirige. Con su excelente historial de vigilancia y su habilidad para meterse en todo tipo de problemas, Chris y Bill están preparados para el desafío. Sin embargo, las cosas se complican rápidamente cuando descubren que el testigo, un individuo extravagante y excéntrico llamado Milo (Dan Aykroyd), no es lo que parece. Mientras Chris y Bill intentan seguir cada movimiento de Milo, se ven envueltos en una serie de desventuras que involucran a un elenco de personajes pintorescos. Está la hermosa y seductora vecina, Renee (Sheila Hancock), que se convierte en una distracción para Chris; el torpe pero adorable sheriff local, Barney (Charles Durning); y un grupo de hippies locos que parecen estar conectados con el paradero de Milo. A pesar del caos que se produce, Chris y Bill siguen comprometidos con su tarea, confiando en su ingenio rápido, sus agudos instintos y su diálogo lleno de bromas para hacer el trabajo. En el camino, también se las arreglan para burlarse de sí mismos y de las absurdas situaciones en las que se encuentran, haciendo de "Otra Emboscada" una juerga hilarante y entretenida que seguramente deleitará a los fanáticos de la original. Con su mezcla de humor slapstick, ingeniosos one-liners y encanto alegre, "Otra Emboscada" es una secuela encantadora que se basa con éxito en los cimientos establecidos por su predecesora. Si bien puede que no esté a la altura de los estándares establecidos por la original, sigue siendo un viaje divertido y agradable que seguramente dejará a los espectadores sonriendo mucho después de que los créditos rueden.
Reseñas
Josiah
No matter how much fans might hope, it's simply impossible to have Stoll rehash the same surveillance thriller formula from start to finish. It's a no-brainer. So, to keep the goddess, do they revise and rearrange the story, making it unrelated to stakeouts? Then the sequel loses its entire purpose! Therefore, the stakeout story can't be altered; that's the cardinal rule. Consequently, Stoll inevitably falls from leading role to supporting, then they shoehorn in another woman, and, aligned with a Cold War mentality from the '90s, increase her dramatic weight… Two and a half stars.

A prosecutor, thrust into the role of the "wife," teams up with two detectives as they pose as a family, forging an unexpected bond during a stakeout. It's classic American fare, highlighting both individual quirks and the spirit of teamwork.
Piper
It's good enough to simply reminisce about the years when partners could be intimate and playful without restraint, constantly bickering. The beginning soundtrack and style resembled a film noir, but soon there were shots from the cat's perspective. The neighbor's barely contained excitement and nervousness after overhearing the protagonist's affair on the phone was truly vivid.
Sophie
Not bad, humorous and light-hearted. The female prosecutor posing as a mother, seems like the robust female fan from Misery, full of loopholes. The bulky guy pretending to be her son constantly misses his forcibly shorn mustache. The surveillance of the neighbors' crime, followed by the riotously funny scene of inviting the neighbors over, a scene riddled with lip-syncing errors, is hilarious; a whole basket of blunder cops.
Eden
A disappointing sequel. Why couldn't they bring Madeline Stowe back?
Ivan
The duo of Chris and Bill is perfectly suited for this Stakeout, turning a mundane task into an engaging puzzle. With just the right mix of tension and camaraderie, it’s like watching them solve a high-stakes jigsaw puzzle—one where the pieces are often a bit shaky. It’s a fun ride that keeps you on your toes, even if the coffee cups might end up as props in a slightly different kind of throwback scenario.
Selena
Another Stakeout delivers non-stop action and laughter with its perfect blend of crime and comedy. The chemistry between Chris and Bill is undeniable, making their banter and stakeout antics thoroughly entertaining. With its beautiful lakeside setting and fast-paced plot, this movie is a thrilling ride from start to finish. Although it doesn't stray far from typical buddy cop formula, it's a fun and engaging watch.
