This sequel to
La Boum, a teenage romantic comedy that was a big box-office success in Europe, revisits Vic (
Sophie Marceau), who is now 15 years old and living in a slightly more stable home, since her parents (
Brigitte Fossey and
Claude Brasseur) have resolved their differences and stopped bickering. Love has come to Vic's grandmother (
Denise Grey), who is thinking of getting married again. And romance is knocking on Vic's door as well when she meets a boy in her class named Philippe (Pierre Cosso). But now Vic has to decide if this is real love -- and if it is, if she should go all the way with Philippe. Like the first film, Le Boum 2 was a solid moneymaker, and it earned
Sophie Marceau a César Award (the French Oscar) as Most Promising Young Actress of 1983. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
