Vacation Friends 2 doubles down on the dirty jokes of the original and delivers. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAug 25, 2023
The four lead performers display an undeniable chemistry that makes Vacation Friends 2 pleasantly engaging if not hilarious. But it’s the addition of Buscemi that provides the real comic spark, the veteran actor employing his well-honed persona of angry sarcasm to provide a much-needed edginess to the otherwise bland proceedings.

VarietyMichael NordineAug 25, 2023
If anything, delving into action/comedy territory distracts from what made the original kinda-sorta touching at a few key moments: the heart beneath the hijinks. It’s still beating here, but not as strongly as it did the first time. Read full review

While its predecessor proved to be a goofy and satisfying watch, the sequel is never able to fully recapture the charm. You're much better off rewatching the first film. Read full review

Vacation Friends 2 adds a few fresh elements to its too-soon sequelizing, but they can’t change this comedy’s listless, laugh-light trajectory. Read full review

As the harried friends careen across the resort through a series of comical mishaps, the movie has the feel of a TV rerun. More compelling are the too-rare moments of plotless leisure. Read full review

You might find yourself forcing a laugh during one weak sequence to pretend this is all supposed to be fun. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreAug 25, 2023
The stakes are higher, the cast has lost any pandemic-paunch/puffiness and everybody tries harder in Vacation Friends 2, which is something, I guess. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeAug 25, 2023
The bar was low after the first, a half-assed waste of actors who deserve better, but the sequel is somehow even worse, a maddeningly unfunny string of bad decisions, the worst of which was deciding to make it in the first place. Read full review
