User Reviews

My brief review of the film

A terribly silly but awfully amusing little sequel, it may be a touch predictable, and it is missing Thomas Newman's excellent theme song, but having the same likable characters on hand helps it to be equally as fun as the first film. Some of the jokes are really hilarious, and arguably I would say that it is funnier than the first film. I would not definitely call it better, but it is certainly at least on the same level, with an interesting charm radiating from the nerdy characters. And there is another song to take the place of Tom Newman's ditty: an amusing little number called "No on Fifteen". The film seems to get a lot of negative feedback, but I cannot agree - it may not be a great film, like the first, but it is by all means amusing, like the first.
