This sequel was made and released 6 years after the ground breaking hit "American Graffiti". This time around instead of the story taking place on one night it takes place on 5 New Years Eves and the storey's are inter cut together.
Unlike the original where all the story's worked here they all don't. The memorable one out of the five is the Steve & Laurie. However the other 4 storyline are good but there not great.
The actors give it 100% however the filming style switches from story to story. What I am most surprised in this movie is the story for Terry "The Toad". His character is the one that has grown the most.
Now in general this movie got bad reviews. If you judge it as a movie unto itself its good however its just not great.
The problem with the movie is that the characters are hard to connect too. We have one segment where someone doesn't speak English. I think if the movie took place all on the same night like the original & they re-worked some of the storyline's it might have been great. SO this is not great but its still worth watching. *** out of **** Stars
