Reviews highlight several recurring strengths and weaknesses:
A major point of contention was Jodi's constant "negative inner voice," which many found to be an annoying and overdone narrative device.
🎯 If you enjoyed the lighthearted nature of the first film, you might find this a sweet, "background noise" watch. However, if you found the original premise weak, reviewers suggest this sequel does little to change that impression.
Many praised the performances of Griffin Gluck (Dunkleman), Sabrina Carpenter (Harper), and the comedic timing of Steve Zahn and Angela Kinsey as Jodi's parents.
