La Boum 2 is a 1982 French comedy film directed by Claude Pinoteau and starring Claude Brasseur, Brigitte Fossey, and Sophie Marceau. Written by Danièle Thompson and Claude Pinoteau, the film is about a teenager who falls in love with a boy and must deal with the question of making love for the first time. La Boum 2 is the sequel to La Boum (The Party). The music group Cook da Books became famous in many countries through their soundtrack song "Your Eyes".

In 1983, the film received the César Award for Most Promising Actress (Sophie Marceau), and was nominated for Best Music (Vladimir Cosma) and Best Supporting Actress (Denise Grey).
Fifteen-year-old Vic (Sophie Marceau) has no boyfriend. Her parents are happily together again, and her great-grandmother Poupette (Denise Grey) thinks about finally marrying her long-term boyfriend. Vic meets Philippe (Pierre Cosso) and is overcome by his charm. She considers making love with him – a step that her girlfriend Penelope (Sheila O'Connor) already has taken.
Like its predecessor, La Boum 2 was a financial success, earning 4,071,600 admissions in France, and 651,235 admissions in West Germany.
