Nostalgia is the simple answer. I watched it last night, it wasn’t very good, but it had some funny jokes and throwback moments.
In terms of ratings, 67% is probably a bit high even for the target audience. Outside the target audience it should be much lower.
In terms of content, they stretched the skit to make the first movie and it was fine. For the sequel, they pretty much just reference things and add a little bit.
Basically if you think you’d like to see it, you’ll probably enjoy at least parts of it. If you skip it, you’re not missing anything.

Wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. My wife recently bought the kids the original to play in the car while on road trips, so hearing it in the background while the kids laugh at it was a good refresher before watching this last night.
It’s nostalgia, plain and simple. The throwbacks to the original characters, like Roxanne and Monique were fun with a few sensible chuckle level of jokes, but overall it’s not something that would even be remotely fun if it wasn’t for the nostalgic bit that reminds you of the original.
