Jump in to this Funny Sequel

Rating: 8/10 (25 June 2014)

I honestly didn't think this would match up to the original. The original was a funny springtime surprise with an unlikely collaboration, a shallow plot, but some great chemistry among the cast and a lot of funny moments. It does no problem superseding the original in my book. The chemistry is there again. The supporting cast once again does a great job creating the funny moments, although it would have been nice to see Franco and Riggle in more than one scene, even though it is hilarious. The plot leaves a bit to be desired, but the execution, and the ability to not take themselves too seriously throughout the movie makes this one a winner. Also have to give credit to the directors for not just sticking the characters in the exact same predicament. This time Jenko gets a chance to have fun and hang out with the cool kids, and Schmidt is stuck with art and poetry students, meets an interesting girl, and an even more interesting roommate. Dickson (Cube) is also a good addition and the interactions with him create laughs as well. The credits montage is witty and entertaining.
