Reviews

"The Engagement Ring 2" received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.1/10, indicating generally unfavorable impressions. Some reviewers appreciated the film's attempt to reflect Azerbaijani culture and the charm brought by Afag Bashirgizi's performance, noting that "the movie provides a simplistic yet culturally rich storyline". However, many critics pointed out issues with the film's pacing and predictability, with comments such as "the plot lacks depth and relies heavily on clichés" and "the comedic timing feels off, making it less engaging than intended". It did not receive enough reviews to generate significant scores on aggregated sites like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, suggesting limited international exposure. Overall, "The Engagement Ring 2" is seen as a modest sequel that will appeal mostly to its domestic audience familiar with the first installment and regional humor, but it falls short in delivering a universally compelling narrative or production quality expected by wider viewers.
