Serial Bad Weddings 2 (French: Qu'est-ce qu'on a (encore) fait au Bon Dieu?, lit. 'What have we (still) done to the Good Lord?') is a 2019 comedy film directed by Philippe de Chauveron. It is a follow-up to Serial (Bad) Weddings.[3] The film is about the Verneuil family, an upper-class French Catholic couple portrayed by Christian Clavier and Chantal Lauby from a French province and their four daughters, three who married men of different faiths and one who married a black man.

The film was the highest grossing French production in France in 2019 and the third highest-grossing film of 2019 in France.

Release[]

Serial (Bad) Weddings 2 was released in France and Belgium on January 30, 2019.[2] The film grossed over 45 million Euros from 7 million admissions in France which made it break a four-year record for a local language film.[3] The film received a theatrical release in several countries, including Germany, Switzerland and Canada.[3] A third film in the series has been planned.[3]

As of December 1, 2019, the film was in third place on the 2019 chart having attracted 6.7 million admissions, for a box office of $47.7m making it the third highest-grossing film in France in 2019 and the highest grossing French production in 2019.[4] Melanie Goodfellow noted that "In spite of this stellar performance, the box office was 45% lower than for the original 2014 Serial Bad Weddings, which drew a mighty 12.4 million spectators ($91m).[4]

Reception[]

Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter stated that the film "feels like a slight improvement on the first movie, delivering a few mild laughs amid a similar onslaught of overwrought gags, over-the-top performances and “can’t we all just get along?” messaging meant to lure Frenchies into theaters so they can chortle at their own cultural differences — if not at their countrymen's latent racism."[1] The review concluded that "What may ultimately be most offensive about these movies is not what they’re trying to say, but how they say it."[1]
