If you have seen this movie (or 2 parter), you may recognize a pun in my summary line. I like to do things that way. If not, you will understand once you've watched it. Or get the joke behind it - you don't have to though. It works either way.
But enough about me, this is about the follow up to the ... 80s movie that starred Drew Barrymore. This supposedly is a sequel, but is retelling certain things from that movie. So while this is a sequel it still has portions from the source (novel). I personally think this is slightly better than the original - less cringe ... a lot less cringe (if that makes sense).
Also the main character here is way hotter ... had to do that pun. She knows it - and still can't stop inserting herself in those impossible situations where she gets others hot and bothered ... but leaves them bothered ... better for them, even if they are not fully aware of it.
That aside, this continues the trend to having really good actors in it. Dennis Hopper, Malcolm McDowell ... can't argue with those choices. But don't expect this to be a great (tv) movie ... it is a nice story and works even if you haven't seen the first movie. Actually maybe it is better to read the novel and then watch this - skip the "original" movie. If you want to listen to me that is.
