Moviegoers are saying
This Ed Burns sequel divides audiences with its glossy upgrade from the original's $25,000 budget, trading DIY heart for Instagram-worthy production values. While reviewers appreciate Burns' improved directing skills and the return of his signature Catholic guilt-laden dialogue, many feel the film relies too heavily on familiar character arcs and Hallmark-level sentiment.

    I enjoyed this but had issue with every freaking character having the same arch. It was sappier than a Hallmark movie but with cussing and Catholic guilt. Let's hope it's not following "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and has a 3rd part.

The characters are definitely annoying at times, but they’re all going on their own journey, figuring out who they are and how they fit into the…
