Still bad but gets an extra star because it was better than expected. The step-dad made me hate him for what he was trying to do to Larry but in the end it worked out. I am not a fan of Larry the Cable Guy whatsoever and the amount of poop jokes is very terrible writing especially as a sequel to the classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The plot is based entirely on the first film without much ingenuity or originality. The ending was somewhat moving but the depiction of Noel moving from the poorest dad in town to the richest possible dad in town was quite a stretch and ridiculous. After typing this review, I had to drop a star remembering how bad the movie actually was. As many sequels that don't have the original stars, this film should be skipped entirely. Went ahead and dropped another star.
