I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
