And Dee, who took out Best Actress at the New Zealand Screen Awards in August, carries some of the pathos and weight of The Leopard's ageing autocrat. Otherwise No. 2-which was released in Australia last week-is a crowd pleaser every bit as tangy as the fruit salad Nanna Maria's extended family is likened to.

You’ll also learn some stuff about Kant, which will enable you to slip the categorical imperative into basically any section discussion for the rest of your...

Yet the film almost immediately devolves into predictable, mediocre jokes and characterizations. It seems to want desperately to be a crowd-pleaser, but it’s trying so hard that it feels a bit disingenuous...
