CITY SLICKERS II: THE LEGEND OF CURLY’S GOLD neglects the elements of a good story and falls into the formula trap as Billy Crystal returns to Utah to join his friends in a search for buried treasure. The movie opens with Mitch (Crystal) celebrating his 40th birthday and happy about it. A new man as a result of the cattle-drive in the first film, he now has a lovely home, a blissful marriage, a successful career, and is the proud owner of a one-year-old pet bull, Norman. A treasure map found in trail boss Curly’s old hat lures Mitch, his friend Phil and his estranged brother Glen on a hunt for Curley’s gold where they run into trouble but finally discover that honesty and courage are more important than wealth.
Riddled with structural flaws, the film supplies little revelation and soon becomes merely an exercise in going from one sight-gag or one-liner to another. Even the perfunctory bouts with death on the trail prove disappointing and anti-climatic, bringing the dramatic action to a grinding halt and necessitating several artificial jump-starts to get things back on track. Structural problems aside, CITY SLICKERS II is plagued by sexual innuendo, cheap macho jokes, crude language, and embarrassing sexual scenes, resulting in a pastiche of irreverent humor that will likely make the moral viewer squirm.
