Such a frustrating disappointment

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The film has a reasonable premise with a girl graduating from college and looking to enter the job market in the writing field. It soon gets bogged down into other stories, some of which are inane.Michael Keaton plays the free spirited father who gets into trouble for selling items, not knowing that the latter were stolen. We never find out what happened there.Carol Burnett's part is essentially wasted as Keaton's mother, who hides her money all over the place. She tries to display her usual humor, but the writing here holds back her potential to create more in her role.The story comes down to commitment and following your ambitions.

The storyline is mainly about the sobering process of fresh College graduates, who face "the real life" for the first time.The lead female character finds out that sheer enthusiasm and confidence alone might not suffice in the attempt to secure a future one aspires to. The lead male character learns that a combination of avoiding difficult decisions and living in denial is hardly the wisest approach to leading one's life. Granted, those are hardly ground-breaking insights, but it may still be fun to watch the process of coming to terms with the reality that those insights refer to.Most of the other characters are there for the comic element.Finally, the acting is passable considering the limitations of the script and the light-hearted spirit of the movie.

Whoever thought this movie was a comedy is a total dumb ass. It is a complete DRAMA! There is nothing funny in this movie. It's basically a story about what every person goes through after graduating from college. Trying to find a job that seems nearly impossible with this screwed up economy and wasting your time by thinking you like somebody but your better off by yourself so it will be less depression and more enjoyment in life. The family was definitely weird which is normal these days except for the part where he was happy about belt buckles. The people in this one was actually similar to how it is in college. There always is someone that's a bitch and enjoys getting on your nerves more than anything. As well as others who are completely awkward in everything you can think of.

The storyline, cast, scenery, and such are remedy for a decent product. The more I see it, the scenes are yes quirky but believably normal. Some comments I've heard about this is that the 1 star raring is deserved but I wish this film was reconsidered considering the content. The editing may have been off or something but the meat of the movie is charmingly comfortable to watch. The lines are great, don'tcha think? I'm keeping this as more of a discussion topic rather than an actual review. From the house, the family car, the boyfriend situation, the temptations lurking next door, the cat scene, I mean there are so many parts to this movie that is lovable.
