The cast and crew of I Not Stupid return for another satiric jab at Singapore's compulsive competitiveness, problematic educational system, and generation gap. Four years have passed since the first film and the precocious boys of I Not Stupid have all up and grown into disgruntled adolescents. Though featuring different characters than before, I Not Stupid Too, like its predecessor, lampoons the predicaments of children, parents, and teachers in a pressure-filled society. Intelligent, touching, and laugh-out-loud funny, Jack Neo's movie-with-a-message uses humor to raise serious questions about life in contemporary Singapore.

Tom (Shawn Lee) and Cheng Chai (Joshua Ang) come from very different economic and family backgrounds, but both are under-performing, headstrong high school students misunderstood by overbearing parents and an even more overbearing educational system. Cheng Chai's blue-collar widower father sincerely wants his son to succeed in life, but resorts to fists when his son doesn't live up to expectations. Tom and his younger brother Jerry (Ashley Leong) come from a well-off family, but barely see their too-busy parents. When they do see each other, the parents invariably nag about schoolwork and pick on their shortcomings before fielding endless cellphone calls and descending into constant bickering. Focusing on the communication gap between adults and children, I Not Stupid Too shows how all the things that are left unsaid and unheard on a daily basis can build up to disastrous consequences.
