I will say I really liked the first one so geting that out of the way.
WIth that being said, I thought this was even better. I laughed for almost the whole movie. I still love all the little inside movie references, from the jokes about making sequels with more double the budget, to the joke about White House Down, to the Benny Hill joke. Everything worked for me. I probably laughed a little too loud, but that is the point.
If this was bad, I would have almost given up on comedies
A-
