This whole "let's bring girls in" spin could work if it was an actual sequel to the first movie, shifting the process of growing up to that particular phase. Set ten years apart, however, its connection is loose at best, that is to say, apart from the location and Mr Mertle, who once again only appears at the end - basically non-existent. With so much of the plot, and indeed even the very script itself being practically the same, the girls reduced to complete pointlessness, it feels more like a strained, PC-wannabe attempt at a remake, rather than a sequel that would still be about a decade too late.
