Not as good as the original but was entertaining nonetheless
You know you've seen everything once a book starts sweating. Not as good or as bad as the original but this one lacked the dark vibes the first one had. Winifred didn't feel like much of a threat, almost as if Midler's performance was overly relaxed.
I was kind of hoping for more of the original cast, even if just cameos. The new Jurassic World Dominion movie made me realize that you can't just bring back old characters without reason though.
Tony Hale was my favorite part, the guy is so funny. The kids storyline was kinda mush, felt a little like a Disney channel movie scenario from back in the day.
Parker is about a decade older here than Midler was in the first, but you'd never know. They've all aged but it surely doesnt look like 29 years. A very safe and appreciated sequel filled with nostalgia.
