Reviews & comments
Time Out
pressThe script's sporadic silliness makes every plot turn questionable; how the talent deftly negotiates such goofiness makes the film near-impossible to resist.
The New York Times
pressEven if some of the crudeness and the drama feel forced, it's hard to hate.
The Guardian
pressIt's a genially soapy time-killer, though Lee's as shameless in invoking cancer as he is about the catfights and smacktalk.
The Dissolve
pressIt's a pleasure to catch up with these characters as they approach the complexities and compromises of middle age with all manner of literal and figurative baggage.
Hollywood Reporter
pressAll in all, this long-delayed sequel is a very mixed bag, with just enough laughter and tears to squeak by as holiday entertainment.
Empire Magazine
pressCompared to Tyler Perry’s superficially similar fare, this is a masterpiece of mood shifts.
