With the exception of the beginning regarding Miranda's life changing decision (and any of us who know Miranda know she couldn't have been completely okay with her choice without soon regretting it), I felt that the actresses were much easily able to slip back into their characters in this film. In the last film some of the acting seemed forced, and here it was evident that it was much more natural. I was also disappointed in a way with the corn syrupy ending, but all in all, it was great to have the girls back!
