About the film
Same planet. New scum.
What it’s about
Four years after averting an intergalactic disaster, agent Jay still works for the secret Men in Black organisation. His former partner Kay has no memory of that life and now works in a postal department. When an alien called Serleena arrives on Earth disguised as a model to find a hidden cosmic artefact, Jay must restore Kay's memory, since Kay is the only living person with the expertise to save the galaxy.
What hooks you
Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith return as Kay and Jay, with Lara Flynn Boyle playing the villain Serleena. The film was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film. Cameos include Michael Jackson and Shaquille O'Neal. Based on the comic book series by Lowell Cunningham.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who enjoy fast-paced action comedies with a science-fiction twist, and those who like buddy-cop dynamics where an odd couple must work together against a world-threatening enemy.
