In director Daniel Petrie's sequel to the smash hit COCOON, the retirees who chose to leave earth to live forever return home for a temporary visit with their loved ones while their alien escorts attempt to rescue a cocoon dislodged by a pesky oceanographer (Courteney Cox). Don Ameche is back as Art Selwyn, with his friends Ben Luckett (Wilford Brimley) and Joe Finley (Hume Cronyn) and their wives, Bess (Gwen Verdon), Mary (Maureen Stapleton), and Alma (Jessica Tandy). They rediscover the value of human emotion and the fragility of their own lives as they visit with their old friends and remember what it's like to live on earth. As the group of friends reconsider what life would be like if they returned permanently, they shop, party, and make some miraculous discoveries about the future of their relationships. Before they decide whether to stay on Earth or return to space, they must help their alien escort Kitty (Tahnee Welch) rescue an alien cocoon from the hands of the government, with the help of her old friend Jack Bonner (Steve Guttenberg). Once again the elderly friends must debate whether to stay or to go and consider whether it is better to die surrounded by the people one loves or live forever, separated from family and friends.

Unfortunately, the sequel didn't turn out very well. That family atmosphere that radiated from the first part seems to have disappeared as if by magic, and instead, there came a family tension that plays with emotions, but unfortunately, in an awkward and completely dysfunctional way. At least Guttenberg is still trying.

The same thing applies to the sequel as to the first film, meaning that it's a relaxed, but basically unremarkable film with the difference that the originality of the original idea is missing here, so it's a classic mess that was created due to the commercial success of the first film. Overall impression: 35%.

Such a classic sequel. On one hand, you are happy that the characters you could have come to like are coming back, but on the other hand, you realize that they don't really have much to say anymore, and the only thing that could be interesting is their death or something similarly nostalgic. And that is exactly what this second part is like.
