The first film was made in 2014 and was very successful. The second film with the same name, as usually happens, was not as funny as the first one.
Mr. and Mrs. Verneuil decide to visit their country of origin. Returning to "home-sweet-home"... they are surprised by their daughter`s decision to leave France with families for new horizons in other countries! After the shock of that news, the preparations for the trips begin. Of course, the parents are not amused to see their children leave France for an adventure! They decide to invest in a “patriotic strategy” to detain the young couples.
This movie has lots of satire, spicy humor and a lot of creativity. The first part is, however, very slow with certain scenes repeating that makes the first part drawn out. In spite of this, it does not take away the value of this comedy; unique in its genre, being a good movie it can hold the attention of the audience. ( )
