Perhaps I'll buy the movie rather than renting....

Heh. He is still wearing underwear. And a shirt. And he's dry-humping Tara Reid at the time. The imagery (i.e., Tara Reid) is plenty upsetting but there's not really that much skin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bless. I needed to cleanse myself of the Tara imagery, and Laura Kern's review of Transporter 2 may be just the trick:
Purely shallow but never dull
I didn't need it to be better than the first, so the mere chance is gravy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Mindless violence is exactly what I need to watch this weekend. Except that Transporter 2 might be a little too mindless. Every clip I've seen makes me want to roll my eyes.

I seem to remember that this trailer had him gratuitously shirtless and slick -- it's nice to see themes carried over from the original.
I haven't seen clips, just trailers, and they're hyping the punchy parts a lot.
Either "Transporter 2" is wall to wall with absurd action, or it's not a sequel to "Transporter." And in fact the sequel is a better film than the original
However, I'm going to see The 40 Year Old Virgin first.

I'm very excited about Transporter 2. It looks like lots of goofy, brainless fun. Which is all I'm expecting or needing from it.

I'm going to go see 40 Year Old Virgin with some friends soon. Based on what everybody's said here, I can't wait!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'll watch Transporter 2 with the same mindless glee with which I view Desperado. Pretty, pretty men fighting. Sometimes with guns. Antonio has the gorgeous brown hair, Jason Statham, the incredible abs.
Either way, I'm a happy girl.

40 Year Old Virgin was pretty damn funny, a steady stream of chuckles and explosive laughs. Not sidesplitting funny, but my face hurt when I left the theater. So, all in all, a good show.
I might catch Transporter 2 at a matinee this weekend sometime. I too crave the mindless fun.
