If you've seen the first one, you know the characters ... and maybe you fell in love with them. It does try to be inclusive ... although it also tried to blur lines. And with this second movie it kind of does away with any message we were given with the first movie. Which is a shame. It does try to give us something new and it somewhat succeeds ... but the central message from the first one is gone.

There is constructed drama and things that should not be an issue at all .. but they sort of do work, in the sense of they hold the movie together. Actually the central story is not the one saving this, but a side story ... that actually deserves the out of my league tag ... without this plot the movie would have felt even weaker.

Colorful characters aside, cliches en masse ... and predictability ensues ... well you can have fun with this, if you suspend your disbelief.

Ludovica Francesconi acting is quite good, her character really shines - but the rest of the cast has turned into cardboard cutouts.

This is too bad: in the first movie they were well rounded and intriguing.

The side story with the influencer feels like it has been copied from a Vanzina movie; it's cringeworthy and feels fake.

The same goes for the "cybersecurity expert" facing workplace harassment (with a small role by Loredana Berte'! She did a decent job, but her role could have been filled by any actress).

Overall, I'm not looking forward the third installment of the series.
