Buddy Games: Spring Awakening

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.

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.

What were you expecting, a masterpiece or something? It delivers on a sequel to the first movie. It's a stupid buddy comedy that doesn't take itself seriously. It's almost like an actual funny version of Grown Ups 2. I love a good Late Night Comedy style movie, like Grandmas Boy or Hot Tub Time Machine and this teeters on the line of comedy and pacing. If you haven't seen it and you want a dumb fun comedy, watch both Buddy Games movies. Hell I wish they'd make a third one, or even a second season of the game show.

The show was a little bit too long and the side characters are kind of annoying, that's about it.

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!

This was dreadful and painful to watch. Unlike most people, I did enjoy the first one as an entertaining turn-your-brain-off one time watch, as it did have a good story, a cohesive story and one that had some great comedy and laughs that followed. So I figured I'd give this one a shot. Huge mistake. This mess was incoherent, convoluted and pointless nonsense that dragged out endlessly with ridiculous infantile writing. The entire sub-plot with the crazy Phoenix chick was cringeworthy and annoyingly bad. Actually, comparing the writing to five year olds is an insult to the five year olds, because they could write something better than this mess. It's a generous 3/10 for the cast that were clearly the only ones that had fun making this to punish the rest of us.
