Although some of the encounters are more violent than others, most of the violence is almost slapstick as alien heads grow back after being splattered by futuristic weapons, or bisected bodies rejoin. Remarkably, the foul language, which made the original largely unacceptable, has been greatly toned down. Only a couple of mild obscenities are heard, but numerous crude terms are used. Boyle shows off some “miracle” curves as a lingerie model before revealing her evil self, but most of the crude, sexually suggestive remarks are left to Frank, an alien that looks like a pug dog. (Reviewer’s note: Men in black suits who see things the rest of the world misses, and save the world by finding the Light seems strangely allegorical.) Despite the improved vocabulary, “Men in Black II” still features frequent violence in a humorous manner with too much crude and suggestive material for the expected younger audience. We can approve this film for older kids and have given the film a 12+ rating.
