“Love Tactics” was a Turkish rom-com that borrowed from a lot of Hollywood films of the “Failure to Launch” variety for a showcase of some of the most beautiful actors in Turkish cinema.

You know the drill — the guy “plays games,” and plots his strategy for winning-over or brushing off or hitting it and quitting it with one particular woman with his bros, while she is counter-scheming her own agenda with her besties.

“Love Tactics 2” (“Ask Taktikleri 2”) changes directors, brings back the gorgeous leads and fleshes out the supporting cast with even more gorgeous players largely unknown in the West.

To which we say, “We approve.” Because we do.

Like the first film, it’s a sexy look at a glossy, affluent and urban Turkey of high fashion, social climbing and liberated women. But like “Love Tactics,” it has a hard time finding much that’s cute, new and surprising in such a tale.

We catch up with fashionista Asli (Demet Özdemir) as she’s adjusting and altering the wedding dress of bestie Cansu (Deniz Baydar) and ranting away about marriage mania, old cultural traditions and the nagging that starts “after you turn 16” in her part of the world.

“WHEN are you getting married?” Better hurry up. Don’t turn THIS or THAT candidate down.

“You don’t want to end up alone, with eleven cats!” (in Turkish with subtitles, or dubbed).

Her “Love Tactics” beau Kerem (Sükrü Özyildiz) is dressing the groom, Tuna (Atakan Çelik) amidst a similar diatribe.

“THIS, my friends,” he barks, pointing at the ring, “IMPRISONS us!”

But the moment Asli doubles down on her doubts about marriage to Kerem, she is put-out that he agrees. “It should be MY decision” whether they take things to the altar, she figures.

So she and her besties scheme (it’s all Asli, as Cansu and Ezgi –– Hande Yilmaz — just gawk and listen) a way to change Kerem’s mind to that at least the ball’s in her court. Meanwhile, he counter-strategizes with his bros Tuna and Emir (Bora Akkas), each of them trying to set the agenda without losing this ideal love match they’re already in.

The stakes are stupidly low, which means the situations each conjures up have to be outrageous for the comedy part of this rom-com to work.

There’s an impromptu meeting with her parents — Dad’s (Kerem Atabeyoglu) going through andropause and is riding a new motorcycle and dropping the word “bro” into conversations. Yes, his wife/Asli’s mom is ready for a divorce.

Kerem arranges a sight-seeing flight to scare the “marriage” thing out of fear-of-flying Asli. The puddle-jumper pilot is new to the job and wants one or more of her anxiety pills.

She borrows the baby of a friend of a friend to “show Kerem how good a mother I’d be” and Kerem just figures out how revolting a diapered little boy can be.

And so on.

New franchise director Recai Karagöz, who has some experience in the genre (“My Name is Farah”) can’t get anything more out of these characters and this situation than his predecessor.

It’s a little lighter than “Love Tactics,” if I can trust my memory. But I can’t, because the original was slick and shiny but instantly forgettable, just as one suspects this one will turn out to be.
