Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the film was a symptom of the sequelitis disease, which consists of producing unnecessary sequels . He disappoints and is not particularly funny; he also collects numerous bad clichés. There is no depth, the characters are caricatures.

The lexicon of international films wrote: “A boringly staged sequel to a successful comedy that undercuts the thin joke of the first part and does not shy away from discriminatory nonsense. Banal in the plot, with unbearably flat dialogues. "
