Was the sequel good?  No.  Everything is ridiculous, from the plot to (some of) the acting, to the clothes...but did I gobble it up like candy?  Absolutely.  It took my mind off of ::gestures vaguely:: things for a couple of hours, so it served its purpose.  

My sentiments exactly. The original was ridiculous, and I knew this would be more over the top, but I needed a break and the scenery was gorgeous.

That's exactly how it seemed to me.  It was a very bad movie but pleasant to look at and diverting.  Gorgeous setting and gorgeous clothes were enough to keep my interest.  I would have liked to see Jean Smart again.  I assume she's busy enough with Hacks.

I never saw (or even heard of) the original, but the sequel popped up as a recommendation while I was bored so I watched the trailer -- between the scenery and Allison Janney, I was in.  I enjoyed it; it's totally bonkers, but in a way that worked for me.

I especially loved Allison Janney and Elizabeth Perkins together, so when I did a little reading and discovered Jean Smart originally played the Perkins role, I was bummed I didn't get to see that duo (yes, it was due to Smart's schedule they couldn't get her back).
