i suggest if you have already seen the original american graffiti and do not see this movie. if you haven not seen the original and i still do not recommend this and but it will be a lot less painful to watch. the characters from the first film are great and and by the end you fell a connection to them. this movie sets out to show how bad their lives have become. it a chore to watch. set on new year eve in 1964 and 65 and 66 and 67 and we have four stories about the characters from the first film. in 64 and we have john milner (paul le mat) who is now a professional drag racer. he meets a foreign girl eva and and though his plot really goes nowhere and it the best of the four. in 1965 and we have toad (charles martin smith) who is stuck in vietnam and and more than anything and he wants out. he tries to find ways to hurt himself or do stupid things to get out. in 66 and we have debbie (candy clark) and the girl who toad picked up in the first movie. now she is a pot smoking hippie and and really i am not sure what her plot was about. it was her going to a concert. not much of anything happened. finally and in 1967 and steve bolander (ron howard) and laurie bolander (cindy williams) are having marriage problems that end in a anti war rally and police action. none of these stories are very good. the script in some parts features very and very bad dialogue. these poor characters who i enjoyed so much in the first film and ended up where they are here. why. why was this sequel made. i guess if a sequel was made and it had to feature the vietnam war and and hippies and police action and but the real thing is that this movie shouldn not have been made. the direction was stylish and but it just amounts in a huge headache. each story has a different style. milner is just a regular (depending on how you watch it) wide screen and and is filmed how the rest of the movie should be. toad plot was shot in 16mm and and what it amounts to is a poor looking picture and which is the size of a small box in the middle of the screen. debbie plot is shot in multi screen. at one point there might have been one screen and but for the good majority and it anywhere from two to twenty screens up at once. don not bother trying to follow the screens and since there nothing going on anyways. steve and laurie plot has the weirdest filming style. it style really doesn not mean anything and and is dumb and pointless. instead of just a full widescreen and it a condensed widescreen that looks like a full screen version of widescreen. though i do not like the others and at least i understand what they were going for and this one just doesn not make sense. the music is this movie saving grace and not that it could save this. bob dylan and simon and grafunkel and stevie wonder and marvin gaye and dozens of others have nice songs featured here. they do not save the feature and they just make it a little better than it is. it still bad. overall and this is a pointless sequel. any fan of the original should avoid this lackluster sequel. my rating represent  half out of . 110 mins. pg for language and drug use and violence.
