This self-referential sequel is completely watchable, but seems like an attempt at a shallow self-parody. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's goofy -- but not always in a clever way. The original film was fresh and inspired, but this one is hit-or-miss.
There's some great sarcastic writing here and there. For my taste, Emma Stone has the best lines (and facial expressions and sarcastic accents). To be fair, the entire cast IS trying; but there's only so much they can do with the script, and the overall result flirts with tedium.
The characters are fine, but it's hard to care a lot about them in this goofy self-aware pseudo-parody. I never felt they were real people, or were ever in real danger (because of script destiny).
This is OK light entertainment; I give it five (5) stars.
