Good memories

It must be 10 years since I watched this movie. I just finished watching it 10 minutes ago and even though it is a pretty bad sequel, it brings back some fond memories...and like a song, movies, no matter how good or bad, can at least do that.

It's not a bad try, but really the jokes seem half hearted and there's nothing very good in the script.

I realised while watching this again after all these years that I must have seen it heaps of times when I was younger. Lines came to me and it all looked so familiar.

Those were the days...when a glimpse of Sunny laying on the beach in her white bikini were a joy. She looks very pretty. I never realised Courtney Thorne Smith went on to do Melrose place and Ally McBeal and other stuff. Probably because I never watched any of those shows.

Anyway, good memories from a movie that wasn't very good, but had some of the legendary old cast members from the original.

The sequel is like trying to remember a beautiful dream in the morning. It's nothing like the original dream, but for a little while, when you can almost remember, it feels alright.

I miss those days
