If you didn't know that Beauty and the beast had a sequel, well, now you do - at least now that Paul Thomas has written it. A worthy successor to the first part, Paul Thomas again, plays fast and loose with characters from literature and history. Where else are you going to find Beauty and the Beast mixing it with Heathcliff and (Little Lord) Fauntleroy; or with Leonardo Da Vinci and Gutenberg (of printing press fame presumably as here, he is a recorder of sorts).
There is not much of the Beast in this film, after all it was Beauty's love that transformed him but now that love is under threat from Randy West's evil Lord Jarvis. Will love conquer all again? You will have to watch to find out, but in the meantime there is plenty of lust and laughs to keep viewers entertained. The best performance has got to be from Victoria Paris who has a scene with Randy West and another scene with Randy Spears. Ariel Knights gets comedic as the continuity girl but thankfully is not averse to getting it on with other cast members.
To sum up then, sex scenes are great, the humour in this one is perhaps more subtle than in the first film but it is to the credit of all concerned, especially Paul Thomas for the writing and direction, that this has, for me anyway, turned out to be a real classic.
