Ratings and reviews

Nowhere as good as the first one but saying that I think everyone's expectations were pretty high for this. It isn't bad but I think we were all expecting as good if not better and it didn't do it.

I put off watching this due to the reviews. Watched it now with no expectations and found it hilarious - they nailed the generations. The new world is exactly how I see the generation portrayed, and I am that generation. I can see however how hipsters in their 30s may have been offended. Precious hipsters hate when the joke is on them although they can dish it out like no one's business. Expect little and you will enjoy this, especially is you are disenchanted with the current state of your hipster/too cool for the norm, exagerated shallow peers in their 30s.

Slapstick humor no longer cuts it in film, this is evident in Zoolander 2, its humor the the late 80s early 90s but set in 2016 so it just comes off as stupid
