- Sensibility: The opening premise is so weak that it essentially makes all of the narrative direction leading to the final concert feel very forced. Add on top the constant bits of nonsense around the
tenuous relationships between the band members and this film is hard to bear.
- Cinematography: The film in general has little visual direction, not capturing the splendor of the first film while also failing to add anything new. Most of the film takes place in a very dull rehearsal room or over conversations on the phone. The rob reiner interview format doesn't work; the first film worked because it get like a real documentary, but there's no fooling anyone twice.
- Energy: The film feels as tired and old as most of the cast.
- Narrative: There's a lot of back and forth over the same bits that really didn't work to begin with. The aimlessness is without reward. There is an attempt to have some character growth and a divide between Nigel and David, but the problem is introduced poorly and resolved too simply to be worth even having in the film.
- T-Points: The film generously received one bonus points for some fun cameos.
Unfortunate sequel trying to extract any bit of value it can from nostalgia alone.
