Unlike the first movie, this sequel doesn't have much of a plot. It's basically Tom (Steve Martin) and Jimmy (Eugene Levy) trying to out father each other at the lake. Both men have lots of kids, but Jimmy now has money and wants to gloat about that. Apparently, he was very jealous of Tom back in the day, and now wants Tom to be jealous of him.
The children in both families are growing up and moving on, which is causing distress for both fathers. Tom hates the idea of his kids moving away, and Jimmy hates the idea of losing control of his kids and all that they do. There's lots of slapstick comedy in the film, as well as the rambunctious dog, plus one pack rat living in the cabin.
Watch the first movie before watching this one, or you may end up rating it lower than you would if you had seen it, since you didn't have some familiarity with the characters. As stated, there is not much of a plot here. The addition of Eugene Levy, however, does improve the story somewhat. He and Steve Martin bounce off each other pretty well.
