Reviews
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
