The main character, Naomi Scott, was fantastic, and the other cast members provided solid performances as well.
And, the overall production worked nicely too.
But the movie dragged because the plot was too thin to cover 2+ hours. So not even close to being as good as the first one--lacked the tension and had fewer and lower
quality of jump scares.
The ending suffered as well. Good concept but predictable execution of it. Obviously, you can expect a Smile 3.
