6/10
It's like Kevin Smith wrote and directed the sequel
3 March 2010
If you're expecting an epic in the vein of Boondock Saints, prepare to be disappointed. All Saints Day is a parody of the original movie that just so happens to be written and directed by the same guy. In order to enjoy this film, the viewer must accept it as a satirical take on the cult status of the original. The overall tone is comedic, as opposed to the dramatic dark humor of the first.

Now, with the right mindset going in, you WILL enjoy this movie! It was DEFINITELY made only for the fans. The movie opens with Connor and Murphy tending a flock of sheep, which only fans will infer from their trademark prayer. It's this sort of in-joke that sets the tone; the uninitiated won't follow all the callbacks to the original.

The plot's not all that important. Fans of the Saints would watch Connor and Murphy Go to White Castle. Revenge, references and reprised or re-written roles rule.
