The gang’s all back with less comedy and more romance. Dev Patel’s charming innocent has turned neurotic, but almost all of the rest, including Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Billy Nighy and whippersnapper Richard Gere, are bound for amorous entanglements. There’s a big wedding that adds some festivity, but otherwise it’s a parade of predictable interactions. It’s slower and less charming than the original with storylines that aren’t as original.
