No where as good as the first one. Janelle needs acting lessons before she attempts to make another movie. Well, unless she keeps making cheesy movies. Most of the actors are very substandard in this film. The writing and director did not push them to do better. The whole movie is Janelle throwing a tantrum to solve a murder mystery, there's no attempt to insightful investigation, she's more like little kids in Easter hunting for eggs and easily finding them. The characters are very superficial and uninteresting without a shred of mystery and deep sense of individualism. It's definitely a movie to play on the background without worrying you're going to miss anything important.
