Thoughts
Meh, don’t bother with this one. One of those un-necessary sequels made to cash in, without the input of the creators of the first, and not a patch on the original. Even with the first one, it’s not always my taste in comedy but the good was good enough to sustain. Not so for the sequel, switched off after twenty minutes.
