Same. It’s not a bad film. It is a fairly logical progression from the first movie. I was actually surprised it wasn’t more fantastical. There were several points where they could have escalated to a city wide musical caper, but they kept it grounded.

People spontaneously breaking into song isn’t grounded

It’s a conceit of the genre, it gets a pass.

Trying to explain why people are breaking into song doesn’t ground it any more, and trying to make it “realistic” singing such as part of a stage show or rehearsals just weakens the strengths of the genre.
