Lost the magic from the original
5 June 2019
The original film of this franchise was a surprise hit, both box office wise and critical success. Now of course with such a hit, studios were quick to make a sequel due to the success, and as with many sequels, the second film isn't quite as good as the original.

For several reasons, this sequel isn't as good. The material is predictable, it all lost the magic and freshness it had in the first film, and it resulted into being a typical las vegas type comedy we have seen before (someone getting married, things go wrong, typical strip club/casino scene then of course an ending with a character saving the day).

Very little laughs in this film, as opposed to the original, where it was genuinely funny, had special moments and was all around clever from its writing. Another reason as to why this film wasn't as good was the inclusion of Kevin Hart given more of a bigger role.

Where in the first film, it was more of an ensemble with Kevin there in small doses. This film, he was more over the top and the rest of his crew didn't seem to enjoy it as much either. As a result, Think Like a Man Too was an unnecessary sequel.
