A pretty generic romcom, entirely in line with my expectations. Clooney is fun (but he's getting really old for this), and Roberts was never really young enough. It's a good thing they found a superb location and two pleasant (though somewhat dull) kids to handle the romantic part of this film. The banter between Clooney & Roberts is rather tame, and the romance between Dever & Bouttier is too simplistic. Bali is lovely though and the breezy atmosphere makes this a pretty easy watch. It's not the most memorable film, but it's far from the worst in its genre. Decent romcom filler.Read all
Here We Go Again is the perfect title for this second part. Fans will exclaim it with glee, others will whimper it with desperation in their voice. I certainly didn't need another two hours of bad renditions of a band I never cared for in the first place. But here we are, blockbuster cinema is ruthless. This film is pretty much a redo of the first film. A pleasant Greek setting is about the only real appeal there is, the rest is just bad music and bad choreographies. The actors weren't picked for their voices, the plot is bland and the romance never feels genuine. Let's hope they don't go for a third round.Read all
