I have little memory of watching the Italian “empty nest” comedy “The Price of Family.” I reviewed it, but it left little to no impression at all.

I dare say in a week or two I won’t remember much about the sequel “The Price of Nonna’s Inheritance,” a “Granny’s gonna marry a lout who’ll steal all her money” caper comedy, in which the “caper” is killing Nunzio, Nonna’s ne’er do well actor, mooch and possible “Merry Widow Murderer” fiance.

Yes, writer-director Giovanni Bognetti is borrowing from Hitchcock’s “Shadow of a Doubt” for this one. Just a little.

Anna (Angela Finocchiaro) is buttonholed by boorish Nunzio (Antonio Bruschetta, funny) at a class reunion. Nunzio goes on and on, an aged actor on the make remembering their time as lovers back in high school, that “loser” Anna wound up with, regaling her with exploits as a Gypsy thespian, touring the world, in and out of jails as he goes.

By the way, your mother, Giulana. “Is she still acting? Could I have her number?”

Next thing Anna knows, Nonna Giulana is in love, ready to marry Nunzio on Spanish Menorca in the Balaeric Islands. That six million Nonna inherited? It’s as good as gone.

Nunzio’s heading for his third wedding, both of the earlier outings were short South American marriages. His brides died…suddenly.

There’s nothing for it but to stop this wedding. But not just by warning the smitten Nonna.

“We must MURDER Nunzio,” Anna declares. Pushover husband Carlo (Christian de Sica) goes along. He, like 30something daughter Alessandra (Dharma Mangia Woods) and lives-with-his-parents Emilio (Claudio Colica) already has that six million spent.

They’ll do the deed on Menorca.

“We haven’t done anything together in so long,” Mama Anna enthuses. As Alessandra and Carlo scheme up plans and Emilio brings his cowardice and morality into the conversation, the boorish Nunzio keeps giving us more reasons to hope they “save” Nonna by “killing” Nunzio.

As if this dysfuctional quartet of quarelling, buck-passing slackers ever follows through on anything.

There is one clever visual bit of business in this comedy, which tries to wring laughs out of a blind Serbian wedding planner and best man, and the euphemism “moving the furniture” to describe Nunzio and Nonna’s noisy love-making.

The family figures they can make it look like Nunzio is depressed and suicidal as a cover for his coming death. So they con him into diving into the pool and holding his breath. It’ll look like a suicide attempt to the rental villa’s CCTV cameras, which they figure will record the incident and back them up.

The silent movie miming Ale, Emilio, Anna and Carlo engage in to make that CCTV footage convincing is straight out of “The Perils of Pauline.”

The rest of the movie? Barely a grin in it, much less an actual laugh. Considering the effectiveness of the one mimed comic scene, perhaps the insults, inept scheming etc. lose something in translation (in Italian, or dubbed into English).

Either way, Nonna’s “price” is marked down and the movie about it is as instantly forgettable as its predecessor.
