Loved the first film...haven't seen the second. This was disappointing on the most part, too clichéd, some aspects bordering on the point of ridicule (the transport from the airport, and stopping off to run fully clothed into the sea). The running jokes have been overdone already in the first, and presumably the second film, and it was over-acted by many of the characters. That said, I loved the locations, the music, the Mayor's character was wonderful, and the whole thing did have a charm to it. But it really lacked any substance.
