Very well executed

That was an excellent one.

hyped garbage

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Only a few sequels can stick the great success of the first movie nowadays. Benvenuti al Nord is not so bad but there is nothing new here. I saw many jokes and typical situations of the Italian north in Milan. Some original scenes rounded this second part up. I think in the last one there were also some ridiculous scenes but these didn't slow down the dynamic. As an Italian I understood the funny dialogs in dialect so that I spent a real entertaining time. It's much more enjoyable if you see it in the origin language version with subtitles. But I cannot imagine that there would be ever a third part. I suppose the ideas are sold out for the next one. Thumbs up for Alessandro Siani and Claudio Bisio that delivered for a second time a very convincing and respectable performance. 4 out 10.

The Italian version of the Danny Boon WELCCOME TO THE STICKS was, if anything, an improvement on the original and just to buck a trend the sequel to that one manages to up hold the standard and come up with a nice twist.Transferred to Milan after an argument with his fellow postal worker wife Lodovini, Siani undergoes a personality swap with gung ho Northerner friend Bisio. The wife comes to the city convinced that her easy going husband isn't so easily corrupted and they are pulling the same kind of faking that the Southerners went in for, when making convincing Bisio's made up story about their harsh life. Her faith in her man is a nice touch.The participants are largely unknown in the English speaking market but are all on top of their game and what they deliver is a good looking comedy with some nice flourishes.The one takes play out song is one.
