The first film wasn't all that, and I'm not sure why they thought it would be a good idea to make a sequel (though the answer will invariably be money). The sequel delivers more of the same, only now we're in Capri, possibly because Kendrick and Lively wanted a little holiday on the side.

The comedy is rather tame, and the mystery isn't all that interesting. The budget was there, and the location is a plus, but that's not enough to warrant the 2-hour runtime. It's not the worst film, it's basic filler with a handful of half-memorable scenes, but hopefully Feig and crew will put the franchise to rest for the next couple of decades.
