Review of More American Graffiti (1979) by Scot B — 17 Jun 2007
I don't know why this is so disliked. It might be that American Graffiti was so revered, that it seems sacrilegious to make a sequel of it. Personally, I really enjoyed More American Graffiti, as I did American Graffiti. The stories, the human drama, all set to the backdrop of the turbulent 60s: Vietnam, hippies, rock 'n roll, student protests.
In fact, I enjoyed this more than the first movie. Maybe it was the humour: their was more of it, and it was quite tongue-in-cheek, especially the Vietnam parts. Plus, the music was even better this time round, though maybe that's because I prefer 60s music to 50s stuff.
Good plot. Solid direction. Good performances, including some actors in early, minor roles: MacKenzie Phillips, Rosanna Arquette, and an interesting cameo from Harrison Ford.
Definitely worth watching.
