Sonia wishes to introduce Franck to her father, Jean-Pierre, the director of an ecological hotel in Brazil. The whole gang gets together there for a dream vacation. One morning, the guys set off on an excursion in the Amazonian jungle. Jean-Pierre forces them to take his cantakerous mother, Yolande, along with them. The following day, they have all disappeared. All that remains is the small camera they had with them when they left. Sonia and her father will look at the video, hoping to find some trace of them. (official distributor synopsis)

Unfunny hogwash, offering poorly-directed scenes on the level of a slightly better home-video, full of demented gags and unsympathetic protagonists who are ignorant, selfish and terribly stupid idiots. The concept of using found footage is unbelievable and unconvincing, because the seemingly “real" shots from the go-pro camera contain a video editing, song accompaniment and other elements that a randomly found recording from a hand-held camera should not contain. The actors just scream, roll their eyes and grimace. It’s an outright sloppy comedy that arose as a by-product of the actors and film crew enjoying a great holiday.

Such an ordinary sequel, which maintained the level of the first film, among other things, by choosing a slightly exotic setting. However, the film mainly shows how Christian Clavier has aged and is slowly getting into shape, in which he could rather play Obelix instead of Asterix. You might laugh at something here and there.

At first I thought this was going to be another desperately unfunny comedy that would be a waste of time. However, from about the visit to the cave and the subsequent situation concerning the crash of the ultralight, where I laughed a lot, it started to amuse me. Among the funniest moments, I definitely count the ones featuring Grandma Jolanda. (65%)
