13 years later, Willie and Marcus are back at their holiday con job again, and this time Willie's Bad Mother (Kathy Bates) is involved for good measure.
This is one of those films that manages to erode the good memories you had with the original by replacing them with crappier ones. It's completely unnecessary and so "try-hard" to be vulgar that it actually fails in more than one respect. Had they brought back Terry Zwigoff's wicked sensibilities and leaned further into the melancholy, it might have felt a bit more consistent with the tone of the first film. This one relies completely on nostalgia for the past, which might work better depending on which time of year you view it.
