Buddy Games: Spring Awakening

If I had to describe that film, I would tell people to imagine you have a big ball of hair. Now roll it in poop. Then set fire to it. Breathe it in. Taste the smoke. Savour it... that's Buddy Games 2. It is some of the poorest/laziest writing of a script, that gets over worked & stretched thin into an abomination. Dax Shepard took the wise choice, by not featuring. James Roday Rodriguez, Nick Swardson, and Jensen Ackles accepted roles, but you could remove them from the film and the plot of the film wouldn't suffer. It stopped being about the characters, and more about a succession of ever increasingly ridiculous situations, to the point where it stopped being mediocre & became unenjoyable... and that was about halfway into the film. My recommendation is that you watch Grown Ups 1& 2 instead, and that the production company hide all copies of the DVD in the same landfill as 'ET the Extraterrestrial' for the Atari 2600.

I'm not sure if I enjoyed this one more than the first one but this it still made me laugh. Its just entertaining. Which is more than I can say for a lot of movies nowadays. I thought the scene where the cult physically assaulted the guys until they submitted to their ideology was especially funny. Very meta and accurate depiction of the real w0ke cult. "Believe what we believe or we'll hurt you". Hilarious. I wished Roday had played a bigger role, and I missed Dax. With so much bloated trash out there these days this really did well. It's not 2 hours plus like so much junk they put out lately. Just good old-fashioned fun that actually makes you laugh.
