Is the sequel "More American Graffiti" worth watching?


I haven't seen "More American Graffiti" and am wondering if that film is worth watching?

No, it's not worth watching IMO. I haven't seen it in years but from what I remember, it didn't have the charm of the first movie, because it was trying too hard to be polished and slick whereas the first movie was understated.

It's also chaotic in terms of direction. I think it even had several sequences that had an annoying split screen effect, which was a fad in the 1970s.

It's very different from the first movie. I would call it an interesting failure. The idea seems like it should be great, but the movie is, ultimately, somehow a little boring. Good soundtrack, though.
