Not that great...

This movie has major loop holes and a really stupid plot. It picks up where the first movie left off. Only they made this about 5 years later. None of the characters look remotely the same! Also major changes make this movie have poor continuity from the first.

In the first, Tommy's dad left him and his family a while back. Everyone assumes he is a bum, but nobody know where he is. In the sequel he know his dad, a bum, and talks with him. He HATED his father in the first one, yet here he liked the guy and missed him.

Tommy lived with his single mom and several siblings in a tiny rundown apartment complex. In the sequel he lives with his mom and step dad in a normal house. Now I doubt all this happened in the few days he was gone...

As I said the plot is incredibly bad. Tommy plans to release Charles, from the stamp in the first movie, and buy and island where kids can be and stamp collectors can see the famous kid in the stamp. Gee. That is now tops on my vacation spots I tell you. Who is he kidding? Like anyone would pay to go there.

The acting is bad all around and is worse than the first one. I suggest you avoid this one. Only mildly recommended for kids under 9-10 if their is nothing better they want to see.
