All My Friends Part 2 (Italian: Amici miei Atto II) is a 1982 Italian comedy film directed by Mario Monicelli. It is the sequel to Amici miei of 1975. The movie features Paolo Stoppa in one of his last roles. The last chapter of this saga is Amici miei - Atto III, directed by Nanni Loy (1985).

Pietro Germi, and then Monicelli, since the former had died without completing the film, wanted to propose on the big screen many of the typical aspects of Italian society of the middle classes. In the film there are all the elements that characterize the typical average Italian, or the trickster, the bungling, the passionate and what you hunt always in trouble. But one thing, more particular of the Tuscan spirit, unites all these facets: the jibe and the desire to live forever comic and cheerful adventures, sometimes creating one's own world. In fact, the "friends" of the film or the fallen Count Lello Mascetti, architect Rambaldo Melandri, journalist Giorgio Perozzi, bartender Guido Necchi and consultant Alfredo Sassaroli created a manner ideal for relaxing fun from morning to night, forgetting all the troubles, duties and problems that a normal man should take care of during the day. The friends do not think, they just do it and have a great time as they can do, even inventing their own systems to make fun of people and ordinary citizens. The wives of some members are forced to endure the crap that the friends make up every day, sometimes very childish and silly. In particular, the wife of Mascetti, called Alice, being already in dire conditions of poverty by Raffaello, is even more desperate by the nonsense that commits with friends. In fact, often tries to kill himself with the gas left on. Giorgio Perozzi's wife, on the contrary, leaves him alone with his serious and mean son that does not think about anything but work. Between the two there is no communication since his wife and son can not conceive of the nonsense that Perozzi has with friends, instead of taking care of his son's future. The so-called "gypsy days" ("zingarata") or travel and foolish actions mean that the aimless friends also make use of the famous Gobbledygook ("supercazzola"). Count Mascetti's the best in making this prank of stopping a person and quickly saying a flurry of words and verbs with no logical connection or meaning for the other person, who remains baffled and confused in the face of what Mascetti says. In most cases, the other person is so upset by the play of the count, who believes he can not understand anything, and even the Italian language, or include places or names mentioned by Mascetti as a "stretcher", "area code" or "inspector wisps" and indicates the desired object, while remaining very surprised. Meanwhile, friends are laughing heartily and make the other person look like a moron. Another characteristic element of the friends is teasing high alert as authorities or ministers of the church and especially invent scurrilous and vulgar songs from important symphonies such as The Barber of Seville. Consultant Sassaroli instead helps to save the day when the police or other people get angry, because he pretends to know all the magistrates of the city of Florence and most of the politicians in the area. Although the "carnival of illusions" of friends is bound to end one day, the cheerful and witty companions do not think a lot and always find a way to be happy, even in bad situations.
