Camping 2 (2010)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2010
Director: Fabien Onteniente (Camping, Disco, Jet Set)
Actors:  Franck Dubosc, Mathilde Seigner, Claude Brasseur (La Boum), Richard Anconina (La vérité si je mens!1-3)
Country: F
Genre: Comedy
Conditions of visioning: 26.02.2015, DVD, 11" computer screen
Synopsis: Patrick, Sophie, Laurette, Jacky.. are back to the "Camping des Flots Bleus", as every year, but some things have changed.
Review: The first Camping was displaying a group of French "Rednecks" (Beaufs) who meet every year at the same camping place on the coast, and the confrontation with an outsider (played at that time by Gerard Lanvin) who will in the end adopt their way. This time the same ingredients are used and Lanvin is replaced by Richard Anconina. As the effect of surprise is gone, we don't laugh anymore at the recurrent jokes of "On va boire l'apéro" or at seeing Dubosc in tight swimming suit all day long.
If you liked the first movie, it is just pleasant to see the same characters again, but nothing more. The story is quite flat and predictable, and the conflicts quickly resolved.
Rating: 3 /10
