Miracles do happen - this film getting made is one of them, May 21, 2002
17 minutes into "American psycho 2" I fell victim to crippling stomach pains which, quite frankly came as something of a relief. I persisted through the appalling dialogue and commentary, only finding occasional reprieve from the pain via William Shatners comical acting and random swearing. After 45 minutes I was wondering what kind of exceptional conspiracy or super bribery had allowed this film to be in any way affiliated with American psycho. At the films "conclusion" it became more than obvious that the director had screwed the pooch and would hopefully never work again. As the credits rolled by I found myself lying on the floor, hunched double in anger and agony. My tests and examinations at the hospital revealed acute functional dyspepsia precipitated by the atrocious soundtrack. I feel one day, with careful tuition and support, I could rent a DVD again, but it sure won't be this kind of stomach bending, straight to video pap.

Great Movie, depending on what you are looking for, May 3, 2008
If you're looking for a movie just like American Psycho the original, you will probably be disappointed. The movie would probably be better appreciated if the movie had a completely different name.
I can understand the poor reviews and low ratings because these people were expecting a Horror movie. This is NOT one. That doesn't make it a bad movie though.
This movie is MEANT to be be funny sort of like the "Scream" series. The humor and twists and turns are VERY clever. You'll probably be surprised by a couple things by the end. Mila Kunis is very believable in this role.
The goofiness of William Shatner as the professor is intended and adds to the film.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!, November 16, 2002
By A Customer
This movie deserves 0 stars. I've read the book and watched American Psycho. THIS MOVIE IS A DISGRACE TO PATRICK BATEMAN! Reasons NOT to see this movie: 1) The entire plot is predictable within the first 10 minutes. 2) Barely any Gore, little blood, not a horror movie. 3) It has a "cute" ending. 4) Mila doesn't get naked, no nudity whatsoever. Save your money for the book "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis.
