A brilliant, comedic ensemble
There are plenty of well known faces in Parks and Recreation including Hollywood A-Lister Chris Pratt, who plays a lazy slob, and looks surprisingly different from his current heartthrob self.

But Amy Poehler steals the show in this, playing the deputy director of Parks and Recreation for local government in this small town called Pawnee. She's rather sweet and hugely optimistic in the face of everyone saying no to her as she tries to fill in a giant pit and turn it into a park.

 It is a hilarious take on local government and all the pitfalls of being a representative.

Great film. The opening sequence with the battle to protect the "Harbulary batteries" is exquisite.
The humour present in the first film is still there, though at times it is somewhat buried under conflict between Star Lord and Rocket.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Guardians interact with the Avengers in the Infinity Wars films.

Quite simply the best super-hero film ever. The comedy, fourth-wall breaks, action, story, acting, music, easter eggs are simply outstanding. So good, it almost had me reaching for my unicorn at times.
