I'm struggling to think of a comedy sequel that is legitimately good-to-great

American Pie 2

 

[Radd Redd]

Beverley Hills Cop 2 was just as good or arguably better than the 1st movie.

Addams Family Values arguably has a lot more cultural cache than the original. It's also a better movie.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

6 pages and nobody mentions Bad Boys 2?

 

[Gaf Zombie]

Came to post Meet the Fokkers.

But going through this thread, Shrek 2 is definitely a great answer. Best Shrek.

Hot Shots Part 2.

 

[Ra]

A part of me actually prefers the first Hot Shots because it's not so in-your-face slapstick comedy (it still is, but not as much as Part Deux). But I always get them impression that people prefer the second. Bridges / Benson in the first film is funnier than the second film for me, so that sways it.

Click to shrink...

The first Hot Shots was definitely more clever in its parody, a little more intelligent. Part Deux said "fuck it" and went full tilt on the absurdity to try to one up the first movie.

Bothe great movies for different reasons, but Part One aged more gracefully.

Holy shit at this topic exploding!

Thanks to all who chimed in.

Totally forgot about Bill and Ted Bogus Journey and Face the Music, which is weird because I own the trilogy.

I'll have to look into 22 Jump Street since it got all the praise.
