But, this time Assistant District Attorney Gina Garrett (Rosie O'Donnell) is tagging along. By JOHN BAYLESS Tl)c Battalion "Another Stakeout" Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez and Kosie O' Donnell Directed by John Badham Rated l’G-13 Starts playing Friday My expectations were not high when 1 went to see "Another Stakeout." I thought it would be another repetitive sequel on the order of "Lethal Weapon III" or 'Naked Gun 2 1/2." 1 mean, why would anyone make a sequel to a movie six years old? But I was pleasantly surprised by this film, which could be one of the best comedies this summer. As a Disney production, it cer tainly blows away their last re lease, "Hocus Focus." Chris Leece (Richard Dreyfuss) and Bill Reimers (Emilio Estevez) are two hapless cops assigned to a surveillance duty under the direc tion of Assistant District Attorney Gina Garrett (Rosie O' Donnell). A battle of wills ensues between the clashing trio as they try to act out their cover as a normal Ameri can family on vacation. Their assignment is to stake out a vacation home in Seattle, and see if a witness the state needs for an or ganized crime trial is one of the oc cupants. When the surveillance team invites the subjects over for dinner, comic mayhem ensues. Neighbors Brian and Pam O'Hara (Dennis Farina and Marcia Strassman) are first bemused and then frightened by the crazed be havior of Barrett and Leece, who try to detain them while Reimers is hugging their house. Dreyfuss, Estevez, and O'Don nell all excel in this film. It's an hour and forty minutes of side splitting, non-stop comedy. "I've had my mustache 13 years," Reimers tells Barrett. "How long have you had yours?" This and many other verbal duels between the team members make this one of the funniest films to come out in a long while. Dreyfuss and Estevez are natu rals acting together and O'Donnell is great in her part as the incompe tent assistant district attorney. "Another Stakeout" has the same humor that made the origi nal "Stakeout" a hit way back in 1987, with enough of a change in plot that it's not just another stale sequel. There is continuity though - Leece is together with the girl he fell for during "Stakeout." But now her part is played by Sharon Maughan, better known as the mysterious woman from the Tasters' Choice Coffee commercials. This is one of a few films this summer actually worth paying full admission price to see. (And it may even be even be worth a view ing later at the bargain matinee.) Chinese Continued from Page 4 and the hot and sour soup. Both were hot, fresh, and well-sea soned, but I liked the egg-drop the best. And now for the most ubiqui tous type of Chinese food - the eggroll. Eggrolls at Confucius were freshly cooked, crispy, and steaming hot. A few of them would be a good meal. They were Burgers Continued from Page 4 by an ornamental, sparkling gold frame. The beer light selection is impressive as well. There are at least ten different lights decorating the dining and bar areas. There is more to Cavitt Street than burgers and fries, however. Two pool tables stand in the mid dle of the dining area, both in fair ly good condition. The bar is also quite interesting with its selection of antique beer cans and matching barstools. eminently palatable. Service at the restaurant was great. Even during the lunch buf fet rush, the waitresses still man aged to fill everyone's drinks reg ularly. Meals were prepared and brought out quickly arid no one at my table had a mixed-up order. Confucius was an excellent total dining experience. The best part of all was the price - almost all the meals are under $10.00 with tax. In addition, there are daily luncheon specials for much less than that. These barstools even have backs. That's nothing to be laughed at from a barfly's perspective. The folks at Cavitt Street are law abiding citizens. There are several signs throughout the establishment disclaiming liability and warning minors. But the most noticeable is the no cussing sign. No unpleas- antries are exchanged in the Cavitt Street Grill and Beer Garden. The mood is friendly and the food is great. Don't let the bars on the doors and windows fool you. Walk right in, punch up the Ea gles or Clapton on the jukel>ox, and order a burger. But remember, they're not fries-they're potatoes .
