The 2 odd couples are here on a planned vacation and post the events of the prequel, they all get along just fine. Only glitch, Marcus Parker has a job to score whereas Ron has to win over his disapproving father-in-law, who by the way is a criminal. Now there's a subplot involving Marcus and Emily trying to have a baby, along with Ron and Kyla's crying baby getting babysit by Carlos. The challenges Marcus and Ron have to face unwillingly in order to secure the deal and impress the father-in-law, respectively forms rest of the story.
The problem here obviously is the lack of funny scenes. Most of them fall flat and unlike the last film, the cast truly couldn't get their charm + comedy timing to make those scenes work. The script is asusual super thin and highly predictable. The novelty surrounding this unlikely friendship is missing in the sequel. They are all already friends here, accepting each other and there isn't much tension involved here. Even the criminal father-in-law angle offers nothing much as the issue is resolved quite easily. Even the prequel was not good but atleast it had a charming John Cena but the charm is off, the second time around.
