	Media	Author	Review
		Michael Nordine Variety	"With sequels like this, who needs enemies?. John Cena is as funny as ever, but everything else in this follow-up should have stayed on vacation."
		Nate Richard Collider	"While the returning cast is still gleefully committed, this comedy sequel loses much of the charm of its predecessor."
		Jesse Hassenger IGN	"Arriving just two years after the original, 'Vacation Friends 2' aspires to freewheeling irreverence, but settles for screeching tires and canned outbursts"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The four lead performers display an undeniable chemistry that makes Vacation Friends 2 pleasantly engaging if not hilarious"
		Nadir Samara Screen Rant	"[It] has its flaws, but it finds a way to get a laugh out of us (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut	"Although Lil Rel Howery and John Cena deliver their great chemistry, they can’t save a lackluster script that fails to capture the magic of the original. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Painfully unfunny comedy sequel (...) An unwanted follow-up to 2021’s mediocre caper manages to be even worse, wasting a talented cast and replacing humour with grating chaos (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Calum Marsh The New York Times	"A perfunctory sequel with an even duller story"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"Now we have something that’s even worse and more testing than 'Vacation Friends' (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		John Serba Decider	"[It] is a phenomenal waste of time and talent"
