The sequel offers more of the same, only less.

rotten:
Once upon a time, it was funny.

fresh:
Once the new sequel gets past its cumbersome plotting and gets down to its music, it overrides the temptation to suggest buying the soundtrack recording and forgetting the rest.

rotten:
'I always thought there was another story to be told,' Landis says in the film's notes. Fine; then tell one.

fresh:
It's a pity the film doesn't respect the art of acting as much as that of music.
