Some Spoilers After seeing Happy Days, then seeing American Graffitti, I was happy to identify characters, that carried over from the movie to the TV Show. However, you could not really identify the characters in common from More American Graffitti and Happy Days.
More American Graffitti does not have the same focus as American Graffitti and the characters, are not in the same stage of their lives.
More American Graffitti presents the stories of 4 characters in a more adult stage of their lives on four consecutive New Years Eves, John Milner in drag racing in 1964, Terry Fields in Viet Nam in 1965, Debbie Dunham in San Francisco in 1966, and Steve and Laurie Bolander in Modesto in 1967. Additionally, the music of the sixties is mixed into the movie. The events of that day are not extremely interesting but can keep your interest.
One problem with this movie is that we know from the ending of American Graffitti that two of the characters died on the day they are focused on. We keep following those two characters throughout that day, fearing we will see them die. It is like movie about events taking place the morning of November 22, 1963 in Dallas up to 12:29 PM.
