Crank 2 was great in it's absurdity.

If I had one issue with Crank 2, it was that it came very uncomfortably close to transitioning from misanthropic silliness to nasty fan service (in a similar fashion to recent Family Guy).

That or I really just didn't want Bai Ling to be there. WHAT IS THE POINT OF BAI LING IN CRANK 2?!

(Aside from the visitation of violence, natch.)

That's part of what made him endearing though - his reactions were quite real, and while he was intensely awkward and vulnerable, it wasn't overplayed or painful to watch in the same way Ricky Gervais might have played it.

Mind you, Rudd played it as socially naive rather than ignorant, which also embellished the performance in a more nuanced way.
