Buddy Games: Spring Awakening

While I wasn't the biggest fan of the original either, it was at least an entertaining movie with a few funny parts. This one, however, was not.

The writing was very poor. The story had no real sense of direction that I could figure out, it just kind of meandered its way through random scenarios. The opening felt like a dream sequence because of how absurd it got, careful never to actually cross the line into the realm of humor though.

I was confused by the random new age 'woke' stuff in the middle, and couldn't figure out if the movie was trying to advocate for or against it, but seemed to somehow do both? Or maybe neither? Again, careful not to cross into anywhere resembling humor.

In the end, I just have to wonder why this movie was even made. It's dry, directionless, and humorless. The best actor goes to Dax Shepard, for having the good sense to avoid this pile altogether.

Maybe, like me, you're on a plane and looking for something vaguely funny to put on in the background that you won't have to pay too much attention to. Pick something else. Honestly, I slept through almost half of this movie and it's STILL the worst movie I've ever seen. I mean this genuinely. I've seen some terrible (unwatchable!) student films, I actively like all of the main cast, and despite this, BuddyGames: Spring Awakening still takes the top spot for "worst ever."

The story was...passable. The acting was...not good. It honestly takes a lot to make me actively dislike a movies - a lot of people work on it! Even the bad ones are pretty good! And this one just isn't. If you're on a plane, I hope you have wifi and you see this.

2.7/10 (NOT Recommended)

Absolutely a waste of time and much worse than the first film. In fact I would chalk this up as being one of the worst films I've ever watched. The movie starts off with some enjoyment and tiny bit of laughter, moves to the spring break aspect, but then the story quickly deviates away from the whole spring break aspect. There's not much to justify this being a "Buddy Games" sequel other than the brief moment the words are spoken. It's not really all that funny. The "issues" of the film are annoying in real life and even more annoying here. The acting is subpar and the outcome is pretty much what I'd like to do after wasting 90 minutes of my life.

Basically the first one is at least funny and somewhat exciting. This one is worse than a hoarders house full of trash. Skip this one at all costs and go watch a "Jackass" film because you'll at least get a chuckle there.

That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!

If you come across the second Buddy Games movie and think to yourself, like I did... "Sure. Let's give it a go. The first one wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen." Don't. Just don't! Take that hour and a half and stare at a wall. Watch paint dry. Do literally anything else.

You're welcome in advance.

Here's the plot: The Bobfather and his friends steal an urn to honor their deceased friend, Durfy, at the place where the Buddy Games began.

But, their plans take an unexpected turn as they find themselves in the chaos of spring break. As they attempt to pay tribute to their lost friend, they realize their old-school partying skills can't keep up with the wild ways of today's generation.

This is filmed better than the first. The editing is better and the story had a better plot. Basically, the guys attend a funeral, steal the urn, end up a spring break, get kidnapped by a cult, and seek out a waitress from their dead friend's past.

It makes fun of old men and crazy woke people.

If you watched the first and enjoyed yourself, you know what to expect. These are old guys acting like teenagers and the comedy is based on the crazy situations they put themselves Into.

It's cartoonish, Lude, goofy, gross, and silly. This isn't high art. It's fart jokes, drugs, alcohol, and slapstick humor. I enjoyed it.
