Usually family sequels are fun and run close to their originals, this film lacked everything it's original had. A poor script, motionless characters and Ben Lamb whose performance lacked any appeal despite he winning is over in the original. Rudy Ambers Father was played by a different person wasn't the right choice he played a goofy larrikin rather than the loving supportive father. Why the change??? Never the less I could go on and do a full users review but it would be a waste. I sincerely hope they do another original cast more energy and a better more entertaining engaging script.

Not as charming as the original
I expected something better...
The plot for this movie is LAZY. It relies on character changes, non-issues, real-life affairs (Meghan Markle), and scenes from the first movie. The plot was probably decided on after just a few minutes of throwing out ideas...
One of the biggest disappointments in this movie is the copy + paste from the original movie. Cab-stealing, Amber almost killing somebody with an arrow, and sleighing were all reused even if they played no big part to the plot.
They rewrote Simon's character, the guy who tried to steal the crown in the first place. He was portrayed to be very sketchy in all of this movie, and we were supposed to expect him to be the bad guy once again - except he wasn't. The bad guy in this movie is a new character who is apparently significant to the Kingdom but unknown to us until halfway in the movie.
My biggest gripe, and I know I'm not alone on this, is the complete re-cast and re-written Rudy character, or Amber's dad. I am not opposed to actor changes, but the fact that this character is in at least half of the scenes is really disheartening as he is a goofy, stereotypical New Yorker that does not resemble in any way the loving, wisdom-filled father we were given in the first movie.
The slapstick over the top Dad!?
I have a perpetual look of disgust in any scene he is in. He is absolutely cringeworthy. So much so that I'm not sure what else is going on in the movie as I'm only 10 minutes in but I'm ready to call it a wrap. To switch an actor for a cartoonish nut is unforgivable. Oh! We've hit the wedding planner scene?. That's two cartoonish nuts.
