Only complaint is way too many vulgar words. Literally. Husband agreed with me as we left the theater. But otherwise just as enjoyable as the first.

Be sure and read the comments that follow. http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/07/i_am_a_brainiac.html

But without question, somewhere along the way in the 1980s (during the Reagan years) two things happened. 1. "I don't know all that much about it; others know a lot more about it than I do" became "My opinion, ignorant as it may be, is just as valid as anybody else's; if they are smarter than me, they're just elitist." and 2. "There but for the grace of God go I" became "To hell with them; they're different from me."
