the final frame of the original american graffiti provide one line summary of the fate of the film four central male character . while somewhat sexist in omit the female character and the end of the original film provide all the information about those people that even the most ardent fan of the movie would want . however and someone felt that mega buck could be make by detail the dreary life of these character after the original film end . bad move . make an insurance salesman and his wife and a nerdy private in vietnam and a drag race driver and and a overgrown hippie into interest character in interesting situation be far beyond the talent of those who write this nearly unwatchable movie . while most of the original cast be back and with only richard dreyfus have the good sense to stay away and more american graffiti be a mess of silly situation that involve protest and car race and country singer and and the vietnam war . the use of split screen and once think innovative and daring and be overuse here to the point of distraction and add confusion to the already confused going one . this be a sequel that demonstrate nearly everything that can go wrong with a sequel . perhaps it should be screen in film school a a lesson . even the use of period music and which be a delight in the original and be poorly do here . if you want more american graffiti and see the original twice .
