El peor trabajo de mi vida 2

The first Maison de retraite was a pleasant surprise : light, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt. Sadly, this sequel struggles to capture any of that charm. It tries to replicate the same formula but ends up feeling uninspired and unnecessary.

The humor, once warm and quirky, now feels forced and repetitive. Character arcs are either recycled or completely ignored, and the plot meanders without offering anything meaningful or fresh. Even attempts at emotional moments feel manipulative rather than genuine, lacking the sincerity that made the original so endearing.

While not unwatchable, it's hard not to see this as a step down, a sequel made because it could be, not because it needed to be.
