Reviews

Critically, "People - Jet Set 2" received largely negative reviews at the time of its release and continues to be regarded as a misstep in contemporary French comedy. On IMDb, the film holds a low rating of 3.0/10, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction among viewers. Critics often pointed out the film's weak script and lack of cohesive storytelling, with many finding the humor forced and the characters one-dimensional. For instance, some reviewers described the movie as "trying too hard to capture the jet set's flamboyance but lacking substance and wit." While Rupert Everett's presence added some star appeal, his performance was not enough to uplift the film from its general critical drubbing. The movie's attempt at social satire was seen as superficial and failing to engage deeper with its themes. Overall, "People - Jet Set 2" is often categorized as a forgettable entry with limited appeal outside of niche audiences familiar with French pop culture scenes.
