The first one was way better. I didn't like part 2 that much. There were some funny parts. Part 1 was way funnier.

"It's our names! Nick, Kurt, Dale. NickKurtDale.com" Not near as good as the first one (when are they ever?) but still has a few good moments. I would say Jennifer Anistion still brings it even if it's less screen time, and the main three are still good together, but it is a needless sequel.
