Not nearly as clever as the original. Like most sequels this one was trying desperately to outdo the first. Scenes and lines were clearly put in to invoke laughter from the audience. One thing I did find interesting was the hypocritical nature of the Linda Kozlowski character Sue Charlton. In the first film when Mick encounters the guest snorting cocaine he asks Charlton what the person was doing. She then (with a somewhat aglow expression on her face) gives him a quick explanation of cocaine and its benefits. In this film she loathes and despises a drug dealer who for all practical purposes supplies the very drug that she seemed to think was a good thing in the first. The final shot is about as corny as can be. After all they were like that when the first one ended.
