‘Love Tactics 2’ Netflix Movie Review - A Fun and Flawed Rom-Com Sequel

Love Tactics 2 is a Turkish romantic comedy film that follows the relationship of Asli and Kerem, two successful professionals who don't believe in marriage. The film is a sequel to Love Tactics, which showed how they fell in love after a bet. In this film, they face a new challenge when Asli decides to make Kerem propose to her, while Kerem tries to dissuade her from wanting marriage.

The film is directed by Recai Karagöz and stars Demet Özdemir and Şükrü Özyıldız as the lead couple. The film also features their friends Cansu, Tuna, Ezgi, Emir, Feride, and Bulut, who add more humor and drama to the story.

Asli and Kerem are a happy couple who don’t believe in marriage. However, when Asli feels offended by Kerem’s lack of interest in marrying her, she decides to make him propose to her. Meanwhile, Kerem tries to show her the drawbacks of marriage. They both use various tactics and tricks to change each other’s minds, while their friends and families get involved in their schemes. Along the way, they face some unexpected challenges and revelations that test their love and commitment. 

The film is a light-hearted and entertaining rom-com that explores the themes of love, commitment, friendship, and family. The film has some funny moments and witty dialogues that kept me engaged and invested throughout the movie. The chemistry between Özdemir and Özyıldız is also very good and they deliver convincing performances as a conflicted couple.

The film also has some interesting plot twists and surprises that make the story more engaging. For example, when Asli finds out that her parents are getting divorced, or when Kerem discovers that Feride is Asli's old friend. The film also shows how Asli and Kerem learn more about themselves and each other through their schemes and challenges.

The film also has some flaws and drawbacks that I did not like at all. For example, the film relies too much on clichés and stereotypes of gender roles and expectations in relationships. The film portrays Asli as a manipulative and insecure woman who wants to trap Kerem into marriage, while Kerem is shown as a commitment-phobic and immature man who wants to avoid responsibility. The film also makes fun of some sensitive issues such as divorce, infertility, and domestic violence.

The film also has some plot holes and inconsistencies that felt really dumb to me. For example, how Asli manages to get a baby from her friend without any explanation, or how Kerem gets away with his lies and pranks without any consequences. The film also has some unrealistic and exaggerated scenes that might seem too far-fetched or silly. For example, the bachelorette party on the private island, or the final scene at the airport.

Love Tactics 2 is a film that offers a humorous and romantic look at the modern dilemma of marriage. The film shows how two people who love each other can have different views and expectations about their relationship. The film also explores how their friends and families influence their decisions and actions. The film has some funny and touching moments, but also some clichéd and unrealistic ones. The film might not be very original or realistic, but it is still a fun and enjoyable watch for fans of the genre and the actors. 

Final Score – [5/10]
