Not as exciting as the first film, this one can't decide whether it's a tarvelogue, an adventure, or National Geographic documentary.

Reviews for Endless Summer II, The: The Journey Continues
[A] beautifully shot and exhilarating film that gets short shrift on this barebones DVD presentation...
Had The Endless Summer II stuck to its subject, it would be a pleasant diversion. But it is weighed down with frivolous travel vignettes that are as dull as they are cute and contrived.
Through it all, Brown cracks wise and simply tries to provide an entertaining two hours. The film falters occasionally, but he pretty much achieves his goal.
One of those rare bits of movie marginalia that are entirely without merit and, still, a pleasure to sit through.
Pretty hard to sit through, because Brown's incessant beach boy prattle is endlessly irritating.
Some of it is fascinating to see, some of it is fun to hear about, but inevitably, you end up with a few earfuls more than you bargained for.
Although the movie runs 95 minutes, it contains nothing much in the way of information about surfing.
