Meanwhile her 4. 0- something doctor sister (Mann) refuses to have a baby or any form of relationship, before she falls into dating a much younger man.

Lead actress Nia Vardalos scripts again, but the original director has gone, replaced by the helmer of . Those who loved the family first time round will get some enjoyment from this long- awaited reunion. The old parents are good value, but not enough to save it. It’s a flat film without real excitement, an average family movie that’s obvious and safe, with a lead character who’s now a bit dull.
