Very funny sequel which in some ways improves on the first. Extremely meta (there's a lovely gag at the end where they riff on all possible sequels) but not in an annoying way. The filmmakers also make sure there's real heart at the center - it's basically a "comedy of remarriage", with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum essentially breaking up, Channing finding a new love in a guy who is a more suitable friend at college, Wyatt Rogers (who is the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn!), but then getting back together.
Ice Cube is given more to do, Amber Stevens is a little bland as Jonah's love interest (they often seem to set up chubby male stars with black love interests in Hollywood - Turtle on Entourage often went black), but Jillian Bell is hilarious as Stevens' roommate. It probably could have had half an hour cut out.
