Ex 2: Still Friends

Ex 2: Still Friends? is a 2011 Italian ensemble romantic comedy and the sequel to Ex (2009). Set around tangled exes, new relationships, and awkward romantic collisions, the film follows a group of characters whose love lives keep crossing in comic ways. Enrico Brignano stars as Marco, with the story centering on a web of misunderstandings, reunions, and fresh starts that push former partners back into each other's orbit. The sequel keeps the first film's breezy, multi-character structure: flirtations, breakups, and reconciliations unfold through overlapping storylines rather than a single couple. Directed by Carlo Vanzina, it leans into broad, mainstream Italian comedy while using familiar relationship mishaps as its engine. The result is a light, accessible follow-up built on the aftermath of love rather than the thrill of first romance.

Reception was mixed to modestly positive, with the film generally treated as a crowd-pleasing but uneven commercial comedy. IMDb lists it at 5.4/10, suggesting an average audience response rather than a breakout hit. Rotten Tomatoes has a title page for the film, but coverage is limited and does not indicate a major critical consensus, which fits its profile as a local-language sequel aimed more at Italian audiences than international awards attention. That said, the film's cast, including Enrico Brignano, Alessandro Gassmann, Anna Foglietta, Tosca D'Aquino, and Teresa Mannino, gave it plenty of familiar star power for domestic viewers, and the continuation of the ensemble formula likely appealed to fans of the original. Overall, reviews seem to frame it as an easygoing romantic comedy with a few laughs and familiar chemistry, but not a particularly bold or memorable sequel.
