    I actually liked it. Sammy went his own way rather than listening to his father.

    I didn't mind that part, it was more the interaction with the vampires.

    We used to be a proper TiB. No mention of tongues in coozes and spit-swallowing?!?

    I erased the spit swallowing from my memory. Gross.

    It's during the scene where Mary and Stack are going to have sex after she was turned into a vampire. He tells her she is drooling, she asks if he wants some, he says yes and she spits in his mouth while on top of him. Just hell no.

    I wanted to like it more than I did. The first film is probably my favorite comedy of all time, and maybe my favorite movie, period. But I feel like the sequel fell into a very easy trap for this kind of film: it relied too heavily on cameos and callbacks to the first film. Unlike the first film, I feel like this one got a little too caught up in plot, and some of the jokes fell flat to me. And I know that we should probably expect the main character to be more mature when he is 30 years older, but the fact that he was (when he wasn't drinking) made the sequel lose a lot of the charm of the original to me.

    But there were still laughs to be had. I thought that John Daly, in particular, was great in every scene that he was in. I also like what the writers did with Shooter McGavin. There was a sense too that the cast was having a grand time making the movie and paying homage to the first one, so that was a definite plus.

    It could have been better but it's definitely worth watching, especially given the dearth of good comedies that have been made since the mid-2000s.

    I’d just add it to the list of long awaited sequels that didn’t land. Like you said relied on rehashing old jokes too much. A pitfall of most of these movies. Most of the new jokes and characters just don't work. Not his worst work, worth watching if you are a fan of the first, but Id be surprised if I ever put the energy into watching it again.

    I thought it was fine. Not good, not bad. A little phoned in writing-wise. I think he’s just trying to get his daughters in more movies.
