More American Graffiti (1979)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 11/05, 7/12

11/05: If American Graffiti left you feeling good, then forget about More American Graffiti.

It's a bad sequel. The back-and-forth sequences are useless, and the subplots are superficial and emotionally underwhelming. Ron Howard looks fucking stupid with a moustache.

All in all, More American Graffiti is what puke looks like.

7/12: I feel like punching Ron Howard in the nose.

He looks stupid with a mustache. Everybody, minus Richard Dreyfuss, comes back for More American Graffiti. Even Harrison Ford stars. It's nothing like the original but takes a rather depressing look of everybody's life post-high school. The fancy camera work is unnecessary, and the additional characters serve no purpose.

All in all, I won't be surprised if I learn George Lucas had disowned More American Graffiti just like The Star Wars Holiday Special.
