Reception

The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch received mainly negative reviews, with many complaining that it was simply an update for modern audiences. Idle did not ask for the participation of Fataar, Halsey, Weis or Innes for the making of the film, viewing it as a solo project. [2] The film contained no new footage with the Rutles; Rutle footage consisted of outtakes and unused film produced for the original 1978 mockumentary. Though he had declined to participate in the 1996 release of Archaeology , Idle used songs from the album in the film.
