This sequel to the 1999
hit that aspired to be the new PORKY»S — but was
really the new FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH — finds the Michigan teens back from college on their first summer break: well - meaning mope Jim (Jason Biggs); sensitive jock Oz (Chris Klein); sophisticate - wannabe Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), who remains obsessed
with a classmate's randy mother following their fling in the first film; and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), the nice, regular guy
audiences are meant to identify
with.
What
really hits home is that Hazanavicius equates commercial failure
with artistic failure — that is to say, artworks which don't connect
with an
audience are ultimately worthless.
