Film Review – Vacation Friends 2

“Vacation Friends” was a streaming hit for Hulu, presented as an R-rated comedy break from the pandemic blues, going blue and silly with a sitcom premise involving an uptight man trying to manage two intrusive pals he’s connected with while on vacation with his girlfriend. Co-writer/director Clay Tarver wasn’t aiming high with the material, but there was a modicum of charm to be found in the film, supplying a mild level of entertainment with slapstick misadventures. The picture didn’t need a sequel, but now there’s “Vacation Friends 2,” which returns to Tarver and the cast, only this time around, a faint sense of appealing nonsense is missing. The follow-up goes completely lazy instead, delivering lame shenanigans with no visible effort, happy to gift fans of the original endeavor a dispiriting viewing experience.
