Six years after American Graffiti, George Lucas answered the call for an update on his classic characters with this ambitious sequel. You definitely need to know the original to have an emotional investment in More American Graffiti, as the action is spread over four different New Year's Eves in the sixties. Milner is drag racing, the Toad is dodging bullets in Vietnam, Debbie is a San Francisco hippie, and Steve and Laurie weather a domestic crisis. The cast is back, save for the AWOL Richard Dreyfuss; even Harrison Ford pops up for an amusing cameo. The busy rock soundtrack is there too, but the old magic is dissipated in labored comedy and obvious social comment. The most interesting thing about the film is director Bill Norton's decision to shoot the segments in different styles, a bold move that pays off in the gritty, TV-news look of the Vietnam sequences. --Robert Horton

Much has been made about how the magic of the first movie -- American Graffiti -- is lost in its sequel. However, that's the whole point. As Vietnam and Equal Rights and hippie movements took center stage, America became a stranger, even to itself, and to that end, writer/director B.W.L. Norton and the returning cast do a very successful job of showing what and how happened after that night in 1962, when Curt went to college and everyone else stayed behind. We see John Milner still racing cars ... Read More

More American Graffiti was exactly what I figured it would be.
A movie made that doesn't break new ground, but instead uses it as a foundation to make money for the cast, crew,
caterers, etc. Good for them, bad for most of us.
I will admit I am sequel bigot" with a deep abiding resentment against exploiting an original ideal which was the classic "American Graffiti"
I bought the second one so I could "have the complete set."
But the two don't make a set. The magic of ... Read More

You'd think this film would be awful. But it turns out to be a very nice ending to the first story. Most of the characters are back and we see where they logically wound end up by the late 60s. The late 60s are more interesting to me than the years captured in the first.
The film has a more mellow and sloppy pace than the first. But the stories in this one work that way. We're watching 4 silly but still tragic mini-movies here.
The real strength is that we already know what ... Read More

More American Graffiti is kind of sad to me. It shows how everone is living in 3 or 4 time zones. It's sad that Terry the toad's girlfriend forgets him and becomes a hippie. The ending is the most sad because you know John Milner is about to die because of a drunk driver. I probably wouldn't recommend MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI!!!

This movie picks up a few years after the famous American Graffiti ended, and follows the same cast of characters from the original during the turbulent Vietnam era. All the same actors are back except John Dreyfus. Using a unique series of split screens, often times they show the action going on in different places or from differing vantage points. They have all moved on and the movie captures each persons story individually. The focal point for each character concerns events in their lives surrounding ... Read More
