The Binge 2: It's A Wonderful Binge

Like the title says, this was painful to sit through and I've got a high tolerance for bad late-night comedies.

The movie itself looks terrible, it has the cinematic flair of an All-State commercial.

Tim Meadows is probably the only bright spot in the entire movie, which seems to be 4 disjointed plotlines pasted together in editing with little regard for telling a cohesive story. The two main characters are barely in any scenes together beyond the opening and closing minutes.

The entire premise of the movie is about drug-fueled Christmas mayhem and I don't think anyone started doing drugs until like half way through the runtime.

Overall, it just feels like such a wasted opportunity.

Was very surprised I actually enjoyed this, I vaguely remember watching the first Binge and finding it super predictable and immature and not in a fun way. The sequel finds its stride in combining with Christmas and also using more of an ensemble cast of varying ages/personalities (the first was teen boys I believe which has been done over and over and over, think Superbad but D list version).

The second the mom's bf walks out speaking in a Glenn from Superstore-esque voice and the main character is like "who the f is this?" I was pleasantly surprised by numerous moments that caught me off guard as truly funny.

There were several out-loud laughs, some fun talent added to the cast including a whiny Kaitlin Olson from It's Always Sunny, a raucous Santa Claus played by Nick Swardson (Grandma's Boy), Tim Meadows from old school SNL, Eduardo Franco from Stranger Things, Danny Trejo (from everything), and more. The voiceover guy sounds like Morgan Freeman but isn't, which is also a random comedic touch. Several nostalgic throwback references to holiday movies and classic comedies to add to the fun.

Of course, this isn't some milestone comedic masterpiece, but most people watching it just want something silly to put on during a holiday party or just getting stoned with some friends, go ahead. You might actually laugh for once.

Was honestly surprised how much I was laughing. This is going to be one I'm coming back to every year. From the insane grandma on coke to the killer owl, it is a wild journey that has laughs from start to finish. Definitely a winner. I literally had no idea how funny Danny Trejo is. The bouncing back from color to black and white was kind of awesome and something I wasn't expecting and anytime there is stop motion Im in. The entire Freaky Friday bit was hilarious and when it came back at the end I lost it.

Overall this is a fun ride that can only be enhanced by imbibing and binging things while viewing.

Save yourself 1hr 38mins & skip this one.

The is the worst Christmas movie i have ever seen, in-fact its one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

The acting is awful & it has actors I usually think are great!

The story is so weak and poorly scripted & the comedy simply fails to deliver as its so forced. There is even awkward pauses after scripted jokes, i guess to allow the level of audience they are aiming to time to let the joke soak in.

I have watched 1000s of movies & some are good and some are bad. This jumps into my top tem worst films I have ever had to sit through. Its boring to the max.

If you want a entertaining funny drug movie watch Cheech & Chong and leave this movie in the trash where it deserves to be.

There's a fine line between stoner comedy and comedy that only makes sense after dining on the electric lettuce. I get that's kinda the point of the whole movie but fell a few yards shy of the mark.

As most movies with him do, it is made quite a bit better with Danny Trejo in the role of the angel named Angel. Not the worst idea to bail after he exits.

Even then, some of the jokes just don't land. I'm pretty sure drugs were unfamiliar subject matter for at least one writer. The phrase Suck It Down Pipe is not one you can lean a franchise on.

Your best bet is to chuckle at it while your edibles hit & move on.
