This was pretty much more of the same laughs from the first one with the holiday stuff pushed in there. It was formula in every way but regardless of how cheesy the laughs were, I still was able to enjoy this movie because of the chemistry between the actors. The additions of Mel Gibson and John Lithgow were perfect to complement the already existing characters.
I would recommend this to anyone that enjoyed the original. It really was just more of the same and is not a good movie technically but the laughs did hit me regardless.
