About
If you want a goofy, tongue-in-cheek zombie sequel with a few memorable bits and decent creature effects, this may work; Not for you if you hate shrill characters, lowbrow jokes, or want Dead Heat-style intensity.
Pros: some fun zombie gags; decent makeup effects; occasional spooky moments | Cons: lots of whining characters; juvenile, hit-or-miss humor; feels like a rehash
