What's crazy is this is the one on the list I'll definitely be seeing. My wife is irrationally excited about this. I think the first movie is one of those good ol fun flicks that you can throw on and enjoy some low-brow nostalgia. However, they cannot have enough plot to make this sequel compelling.
