Groundhog Dave 2

For all intents and purposes this does not qualify as a film. It is an hour long trip into pain and suffering. I have seen many torturous movies in my time on this earth, but even the worst I've seen could not possibly compare. I have a new found appreciation for the art of film and animation, for even the most bare bones effort in either will result in something far better than Groundhog Dave 2.

The worst part is that this isn't an exception, as wownow productions has released a whole slough of movies of equal quality to this trash. It isn't even worth giving the dignity of a review.

We are doomed as a species and undeserving of God's grace.

Groundhog Dave 2 is not just a abysmal movie, it feels like it doesn't even count as one.

It clearly gives you signs that it isn't going to be any good in the beginning, which the title appears for the movie, and it has a typo in it saying "Grounghog Dave 2".

There is pretty much no effort or care that was put into the movie. The groundhog character looks so dead eyed and ugly to look at.

And the characters pretty much just stand there and monotonously talk for long periods of time with nothing going on, possibly to make it qualified as a feature film.

There is also no action or something to keep someone entertained, even though they probably wouldn't with the long talking and standing.

WOWNow Entertainment really needs to step up and make better movies, as they shouldn't be allowed to make and distribute so many trashy movies that are made in less than a month. So their reputation as a competent movie studio would increase, but I doubt it would happen with their recent movies.

I am only happy that I didn't pay money to see it, but rather watch a smidge of the movie for free on the Peacock streaming service, I didn't feel like watching all of it as most of the movie is mind numbing and dumb.

A true masterpiece. They title sequence spells it "GROUNGHOG DAVE" and it only improves from there. A must see.

My partner has been stuck on the couch due to an injury and so we've been watching a lot of potentially so-bad-it's-funny stuff we found on streaming services. And, while looking through Peacock, we found a promising movie that... didn't even have a preview thumbnail with the name of the film on it. We clicked it out of curiosity and were met with a sure sign something good was coming: they spelled the word "Groundhog" wrong on the title card.

The plot is so convoluted it borders on nonsensical. There's some badly animated groundhog with precognition, what I think is an aardvark, and a reindeer who I guess is one of Santa's helpers or something? Whatever the case, his voice is awful. Dude sounds like he's perpetually drooling. The plot involves some CEO not wanting to lose money on booking the world's worst rapper after the titular Dave predicts the end times, so he builds a weather controlling antenna and recruits a dog he saved from a no-kill shelter and what looks like somebody's WoW characters, to... beat up Dave? And I guess do construction? He's very vague; he just recites his evil plan, the dog offers to bust kneecaps, and the evil CEO says "don't do that" and then... later on the dog takes a swing at the reindeer.

The dialogue is awful. The animations are bad. They don't want to spend the time actually animating anything beyond stock animations so about half of the movie occurs off screen and then the characters will be like, "WOW. I CANT BELIEVE WE DID X AND Y AND Z AND SAVED (REDACTED)!" And you just have to imagine what occurred.

Characters just show up and leave constantly. There's inexplicable humans. There's a background horse with a full-size horse head and a teeny tiny body. There's a psychic tree. Its eyes will haunt my dreams.

Definite recommendation. It's awful. Hilariously so.

This movie felt like a cut scene of a game like Skylanders. The way that the characters move and are animated seemed like a final project of a seventh grade 3d animation course, The it was so lazily animated that the characters have the same mouth movement for every five minute or so dialog chunk and would "rubber-band" when walking and talking. They also cut away to avoid animating an entertaining scene and you would just hear dialog of the action such as the two times that a character fights two antagonists. However, if you can get past the terrible animation buckle up for a whole lot of dialog. For three to five minuets, you will get character interaction as a sorry attempt to move plot along when nothing in the outside world ever happens. I legit hope that lightning strikes WowNow "Entertainment" and burns it to the ground.
