Amor² Outra Vez

This movie.

Stefan and Monica are together and happy so let's throw another guy in the mix, shall we?

Look, I wasn't expecting much after the first movie but I was already committed to this and decided to watch this. And thank God I watched this during work whenever I could because that's a 1h and 40 you will never get back.

These two characters have so much to talk about. He doesn't trust her and she doesn't care enough about her relationship. So, again, what's worse than a love triangle and this movie? The characters relationship.

The story doesn't make sense. We don't know what happens with Stefan and his idea for a business, the director at the end singing with the children? It seemed like a bizarre dream.

I'm only writing this to tell you that watching this movie is a waste of time.

This is a follow up to the Polish romantic comedy Love Squared. Monika and Stefan are in a relationship which has not been tested by the real world. As Monika's career is taking off, Stefan's has had a dramatic fall...and then in walks a romantic rival.

I am very tired of the romantic troupe where men need to have their egos pandered too. I think they tried to do something different with the ending and I am happy that the kids did not get taken advantage of ultimately.

The actress playing Monika does a fine job, as does the actress playing Stefan's niece, but I still can't recommend this as a comedy or romance. I really lacked empathy for Stefan's character.

This review is based on watching this film in it's original Polish with English subtitles.
