You know those movies where someone returns to the rural setting and rediscovers life and love? Well, that was precisely the first part, and now we face a second part, with the couple already formed and now having to rebuild their lives and overcome a crisis or two.
This time, the action takes place in a charming Polish village, with him participating in a race while she, a great actress, is in New York.
Now they will have to face this separation with humor and romance.
Review of the movie “The Taming of the Shrewd 2”
It’s Christmas (or almost Christmas) and it’s the perfect time for a romantic comedy with the invaluable virtue that you can watch them over and over again without being remembered: they all seem the same, they all are about the same thing, and with more or less romantic spirit, they all come to tell us more or less the same thing in a very similar way.
“The Taming of the Shrewd 2” is more or less similar, but this time it goes from “less to more” in its comedic sense: it starts off romantic, almost silly, but it improves and as soon as we pick up the characters and their infatuation, we leave them alone to live the real adventure: being apart. He will have his temptations with tourists, she will too… and in the end….
No, don’t expect this movie to rediscover cinema or art or take you to a new space of consciousness, but it’s correct and, within its intentions, it meets the objectives and even comes close to (almost) surprising: it’s theatrical at times and the locals have some charm. “The Taming of the Shrewd 2” is, this time, more of a comedy than a romance movie, and it’s appreciated, even though the comedy revolves around rural traditions that always prioritize the virtues of small communities.
No, they haven’t invented this formula, but they have managed to apply it with more or less competence and, like a thousand times before, this genre works solely and exclusively for the audience it is intended for.
Our Opinion
Another romantic comedy that is more or less enjoyable, and this time, it’s more enjoyable than romantic. It’s appreciated, especially on the side of Mikołaj Roznerski, who is particularly funny.
