My family of four went to the theater and watched this movie yesterday. Three of us watched the 1st movie. I'm giving it a 4 star because I can't do 3.5. The movie is about 20 minutes longer then it needs to be. The beginning is mostly slow. What I like is that it explains questions that might have been unanswered from the 1st movie. For a sequel it does this job well. There are some jump scares and a few scenes of gore. We also laughed a few times. We took our sons with us age 18 and almost 12. While there is some cussing there are no nude or sex scenes. Both boys thought the movie was scary.

From reading the comments you either love it or not. I went Saturday with my almost 17 year old son. He & I went together and watched the first Smile. I did not watch the trailer for this movie. Within minutes the movie gets crazy! It does follow a pop star that had a drug addiction and something horrible that happened the year before. The jump scares are fantastic! It will get you! This movie had more gore than I expected. Although it was long it was scare packed! I did chuckle after being scared a few times. The main actress was phenomenal! The reason for the 4 stars is because the ending gave me poltergeist vibes. I hope there is a Smile 3.

I took my 9 almost 10 year old to see this today. He loved it! He gave it a 10 out of 10. He also said it was a 5 out of 10 scare wise. He knows more about the video game than I do. The movie had a good plot and was interesting. Maybe 1 or 2 jump scares. Personally for me who likes horror or thrillers there was nothing scary about this movie. This might be scary for kids 7 and under. My rating is based off my 9 year old.
