I have not seen the first movie that acted as something approaching a first part therefore I would not comment on elements of continuity and coherence.This movie had a mixed reception in Greece to say the least, because many of the stereotypical attitudes that attributes to Greeks and Greek-Australians are negative in themselves: financial corruption, nepotism etc.
On the other hand, to use a term that has been the title of another Greek movie that was shot in Mykonos-it has many "beautiful people" in it, notably Makrypoulia and Copolla, who play a Greek singer and former Miss Italy respectively.
The funniest aspect of the film had to do with the appearance and behaviour of the two German archaeologists who finally make a discovery that acts as a catalyst in the development of the plot.
I can not say that it was a quality movie but it is fun, it is shot in a very charming place, Mykonos, as the title suggests and has some memorable appearances, if not performances. Good clean summer fun.

stereotyped comedy and a beautiful island
So good!
Just hilarious & really interesting at the same time!

I guess the movie might appear as pretty lame to quite a few guys who will watch it. And though it does use a tried and tested (succesfully at that) formula, it does not seem to really bring life to the whole thing. Still the effort the guys put in there and the fact that in this case I am a bit biased (Greek heritage living as a foreigner),makes me overlook a few things I guess.
You can have fun with this movie, though it never will achieve a status that "My big fat Greek wedding" has (though to me it is not so much inferior to the Vardalos picture, her recent career proving, that it/she might stay with that one big success),but it still might be enough to sit back and enjoy a movie about an island ... and some stuff. There is not much story, but it does use locals (you can hear it from their accent) and is just a neat little picture.
