Tina & Bettina 2 - The Comeback
10 long years have passed since the first film about the super duo, and things are not so great anymore. Tina married an 89-year-old, who just refuses to die so that she can finally get the inheritance. Bettina, on the other hand, tries to keep her spirits up in a rotten marriage where all she does is look after the ungrateful man's children. And almost even worse - no one does video blogging anymore, and after a heated argument, the girls have lost contact with each other. Life sucks. But when Tina goes crazy at the VIXEN awards, and the recording from there goes viral, Tina & Bettina are suddenly on everyone's lips again.
