Negative Positive
Title: No surprises in the sequel. Not much of anything
Review: More American Graffiti was exactly what I figured it would be.A movie made that doesn't break new ground, but instead uses it as a foundation to make money for the cast, crew,caterers, etc. Good for them, bad for most of us.I will admit I am sequel bigot" with a deep abiding resentment against exploiting an original ideal which was the classic "American Graffiti"I bought the second one so I could "have the complete set."But the two don't make a set. The magic of the original is gone for the most part, great actors (Paul Lemat, Ron Howard) are going through the motions waiting for payday. What this--and most--sequels do is stain the memory of its original to the point of sacreligious. With few exceotions,avoid films with "2" or "More" in the title. "More American Graffiti" issimply more money for the producers.
