Russian Dolls

This sequel to the charming "L'Auberge Espagnole" fails to bring the same magic. Writer and director Cédric Klapisch tries too hard to impress and the talented cast can't help it either. This film shouldn't have been made in the first place but the temptation to cash on the success of the first film must have been irresistible. While the first film captured the essence of its time with a young hot cast in the vibrant Barcelona, this film brings nothing new and everything becomes boring. Without the great cast the film would be unwatchable. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
