I'm in two minds about submitting a review for this film, because I walked out after an hour. It was more than enough, and several others did likewise earlier. So, while I can't comment on the entire film, I can say that the first hour was very tedious, clunky, contrived and slowly deteriorating in plot and plausibility. It was like a long episode of Neighbours, with Polynesians instead of Ramsay St.
No. 2 is the type of film that is usually described in attempted superlatives such as delightful, pleasant, warm, or charming. If you liked the unimpressive Little Miss Sunshine, you may like this. I found No. 2 less likable and more tedious. The dialogue was clumsy, full of unnecessary and contrived arguing and basically lacking authenticity.
There were moments of warmth, and the lead actress looked nice on camera. The cinematography was generally good, but there was little to grab me as a viewer. If you're a fan of Neighbours, you'll probably like this.
