Following on the heels of its popular 1983 precursor, this second installment of "El Milusos" continues the Sad Sack character of the widowed Transito (Hector Suarez) and his losing misadventures in the low-end job market. "El Milusos" is Transito's nickname, meaning a "Jack-of-all-trades" because he tries his hand at anything to get ahead. He leaves his young son and his farm behind him to seek his fortune in a large, run-down barrio of Mexico City where he does everything from selling tacos, to waiting tables, to boxing, and he even tries a stint as an illegal alien in the U.S. His karma is such that he misses out on the breaks that happen to others, yet he does so with a comic style and innocence that can be admired. Although the storyline is uneven and not above lecturing at times, the misadventures of Transito are laced with a steady dose of humor that should entertain most audiences.

In this comedy that's heavy with one-liners, the work ethic takes a drubbing and family values are touted as the true source of happiness, even for crooks. "El Multiple" (Rafael Inclan) is a devoted father and husband who loads up on stolen goods, smuggles his family and the loot into the United States, and then strikes it rich by selling his merchandise for high prices. In contrast to "El Multiple," Don Proculo (Pedro Weber) works hard to get a better life for himself by pouring his energy into his antique shop. One day while he's away on vacation, someone breaks into his store and steals everything of value. Don Proculo is forced out of business and "El Multiple" comes back, looking for a place to start a small family restaurant. For the characters in this film, family means more than a business, or the goods which so readily (and illegally) change hands. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Rivera and once again takes up the story of an impoverished farming family who goes to the city in the hopes of finding a better life. After Serafin (Roberto Guzman) and his family arrive in Mexico City, their lives slide downhill. Unable to read or write, untrained in any skills, no one in the family is prepared for a real job.

El Mofles (Rafael Inclan) is a poor mechanic who works at the Los Pits garage in this low-budget comedy. When he finds a bag full of money, Mofles is elated until the crooks who stole the loot come looking for him and the missing cash. Music groups Generacion 2000, Los Chicanos, and Grupo Centarario appear to help add to the thin plot. The comedy highlight is a birthday celebration that turns into a drunken fiesta. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Rafael Inclan stars again as Mofles in this comedy sequel to Mofles Y Los Mecanicos. Mofles and his garage mechanic buddies engage in drinking and alcoholic revelry. As is the case with many sequels, this fails to live up to the quality of the initial feature. The groups Generation 2000 and Los Infieles provide music in the routine club scenes. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
