I wasn't paying the fullest attention to the entirety of this sequel to the great original, from director Emile Ardolino (Dirty Dancing, Sister Act), but I certainly noticed it enough to realise it deserves the two star rating (out of five) from the critics. Basically Peter 'Pete' Mitchell (Tom Selleck), Michael 'Mike' Kellam (Steve Guttenberg) and Jack Holden (Ted Danson) are still living with Sylvia Bennington (Nancy Travis, with a little more believable English accent) and the daughter she and Jack had, now grown-up Mary (Robin Weisman). This story sees Sylvia's work making her move back to England, while Pete and Mike follow Jack is filming. The boys, especially Pete who eventually realises he loves Sylvia, are trying to make sure not only Mary has a good school, not boarding, and towards the end stop Sylvia's wedding to some bozo. Also starring Christopher Cazenove as Edward Hargreave, Sheila Hancock as Vera Bennington, Harry Potter's Fiona Shaw as Miss Elspeth Lomax, John Boswall as Barrow, Edward's Butler and Jonathan Lynn as Vicar Hewitt. To be honest, only the opening montage and music, and the only funny moment of the film when Jack is disguised with great make-up as a vicar, these are the only worthwhile parts. If you liked the first film, I would insist you don't bother with this nonsense, a terrible comedy sequel. Pretty poor!
