When L'Auberge Espagnole (aka Pot Luck) became a minor Euro hit in 2002, hardly anyone had heard of its lead, Romain Duris; as its sequel arrives, he's become the hottest name in French cinema, eclipsing even his co-star Audrey Tautou.

Duris effortlessly holds the centre in an entertaining ensemble comedy, which reunites a group of random holiday-makers as they reach their 30s. One of their number is about to get married (to a Russian ballet dancer), sparking various early-life crises among this small circle: Duris, in particular, bounces between ex-girlfriend Tautou and slinky English scriptwriter Kelly Reilly. Director Klapisch can't stop himself injecting irritatingly whimsical special effects every now and then, but otherwise handles the international cast and continent-crossing storylines with aplomb.
