PARIS — The eponymous little French rascal is back for seconds in Les vacances du Petit Nicolas, director Laurent Tirard’s second adaptation of the French series of children’s books from the 1960s, created by Asterix writer René Goscinny and artist Jean-Jacques Sempé.

French comedy heavyweights Kad Merad (Welcome to the Sticks) and Valerie Lemercier (Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia) encore as the parents of little Nick, though thankfully this second entry is otherwise quite different, set over the summer holidays at a colorful beach-side hotel instead of the home-and-school setting of Little Nicolas and with a bouncier energy and more playful gags replacing the occasionally too stodgily nostalgic vibe of part one.
