I read in the New York Times that "for those looking for nostalgia they will love the new sequel, for those looking for another Oscar winner, they will find a spoonful of artificial sweetener." I couldn't agree more.
Emily Blunt is fantastic - absolutely brilliant. The script however is just a scene by scene rewrite. It's a homonym really...you know, it sounds the same but is spelled different. Also the songs are cute but totally forgettable. No one is walking out of the theatre with the music stuck in their head, pining for the soundtrack, and to be honest when the screenplay is almost a carbon copy, one can't help but wonder, why they didn't use the original music and just change the lyrics.
**1/2 Rentable - but worth seeing on the big screen
Rated PG (for thematic elements)
