Todd Phillips is an Artistic Coward!!! His refusal to make a masterpiece in the first film is totally embellished in this one. The acting was really pretty good, the actors were great, but can't carry this sorry excuse for a script and directing. A musical, ?, too much and too many songs wasted a lot of time. As far as musicals go this may be the best, but I can't stand musicals. Some cool use of songs, overdone why do birds suddenly appear? A few choices that were so uncomfortable original price of crps that ruined this musically and ruined the movie. Intentionally made a disappointment, which to Phillips thinks it's a brilliant disappointment like himself, Extremely anti climactic. To have actors go through hell to make such a disappointment? Everyone walking out of the theater said they hated wasting the time. Awful.Todd should be thrown out of Hollywood, and live in a rundown apartment building looking out the blinds. As the world goes on without his partially written piece of crap
