More a collection of sketches than a film, it takes pot shots at the popularity and consumerism of the first film, mixed in with screwball humour. As evidenced in the commentary on the R1 disc, Dante says that they only made Gremlins 2 just to make sure that Gremlins 3 never got made. Hilarious!
This is more of a laugh then the first part, but it is good to watch after a while if you've seen it already.
