The vibe of the movie is very similar to the first in a good way, and the movie has many clever moments like “anxi tea” that anxiety drinks and “sar chasm.” However, this movie is definitely nowhere near as good as the first movie. It is also way too similar to the first to warrant making a whole new movie. I just felt bored watching another problem happen and watching the characters go through the same process to fix it just like the first movie. There wasn’t anything new addressed with the inside of Riley’s brain; they tried with the sense of self, but it wasn’t enough to make the second movie stand alone as a good movie. There weren’t nearly as many cool things that happened on the adventure or new areas of the mind explored, and I feel like that was a miss for this movie. The new characters are really boring. Anxiety is supposed to ruin everything, so you’re made to not like her, but even the other characters were so useless throughout the movie that you don’t even care about them. I wish they were new emotions that you liked as much as the old emotions, to at least make this movie join with the first in a way. If not for the first movie, I would find this movie more clever, but it reused too much and just isn’t great.

I can not stand Shae. Specifically, episode 6 for the Hawaii themed bedroom. She forced the woman into not using pillows that the woman obviously wanted in the room. She is so rude and fake and it makes me so mad. If the woman wants her pillows, USE THE PILLOWS.
