The trailer showed a B'wood-esque wedding celebration, and with this cast, I plunged. Didn't realize this was a sequel, since the "second" in the title refers to a second hotel (not second-best). The dance in the finale is fun and well-synchronized, but no acrobatics; it's just a wedding party. Very colorful.
Good fluff. Nice to see an elder cast. And RG smiling and dancing a bit is very welcome.
