Vacation Friends 2

A bit weaker than the first part, but still pretty good. Vacation Friends is exactly the kind of cheeky, vulgar and crude comedy that's sadly missing from the scene, so a plus for that. The biggest draw is again the duo of John Cena and Meredith Hagner – those two are really great here, they give good performances, they're funny, they create cool situations whenever they're on set, they are brilliant. Unfortunately that's also a stumbling block because when they're not on set it doesn't click as much. There are some new characters that aren't that funny (you just want more Cena and Hagner and to skip this one), so there was a dumber passage every now and then, but it didn't hurt the whole thing too much because there is still plenty of room for laughs – though I'd rather watch the first one again. 65% (08/30/2023)
