Only a few sequels can stick the great success of the first movie nowadays. Benvenuti al Nord is not so bad but there is nothing new here. I saw many jokes and typical situations of the Italian north in Milan. Some original scenes rounded this second part up. I think in the last one there were also some ridiculous scenes but these didn't slow down the dynamic. As an Italian I understood the funny dialogs in dialect so that I spent a real entertaining time. It's much more enjoyable if you see it in the origin language version with subtitles. But I cannot imagine that there would be ever a third part. I suppose the ideas are sold out for the next one. Thumbs up for Alessandro Siani and Claudio Bisio that delivered for a second time a very convincing and respectable performance. 4 out 10.

Sequel of "Benvenuti al nord", this movie is the mirror of the first one: now the southern man has to live, for working, in the North. Here he found all the stereotypes about the northerns that are counted in his original country, as in the first chapter, but reverse. In Italy, humor about regional stereotypes is well accepted and surely with this techniques the movie can have success; but about quality it is too much a repetition of the first one with also less convincing facts and a too much fast evolution of the story and the psychological positions. Siani is a kind of little Troisi, but can't reach his talent. As a lot of Bisio's film, confronted with other Italian comedies, this movie can be seen with joy and fun, but it is nothing special and surely inferior to the first.

Again, a banal story but it's ok for a light comedy. Bisio and Finocchiaro are really good actors, while I really dislike Siani.
