Elwood rebuilds the band and heads for another musical showdown with pursuers accumulating behind him. The sequel delivers an impressive gathering of musicians around a story heavily dependent on the first film's route. Choose it for the performances and exaggerated pile-ups, with patience for the nostalgia machinery.
