Grace VanderWaal returns as the infectiously sweet singer, now starstruck and lovestruck.

As with “Stargirl,” there’s a bone-deep decency to this sequel that’s pretty disarming.

A suitably quirky and sweet sequel that builds on the Stargirl mythos with nothing but good intentions.

Let’s be honest: no one asked for Hollywood Stargirl. The first film had very little emotional attachment and depth to hold the audience’s interest, and the same can be said for the sequel.
