Mucho Locos no Natal

Is it even possible to dislike a Christmas movie full of actors I love that is meant to be watched while on drugs? Yes. Yes, it is very possible. I enjoyed the first film for what it was and spent many late nights watching it laughing. It's A Wonderful Binge however just wasn't enjoyable. I know when the filmmakers wanted me to laugh, but the laughs never came unfortunately. I chuckled a few times here and there, but I found myself checking the amount of time left until it was over more than once. I'm sure that some people will enjoy this movie but for me this is on par with Caddyshack 2 when compared to the original.

Why is it so bad? Why is it so poorly written? Why is it SO poorly acted? Tim Meadows is great but he always is, in terms of comedic timing, he's Meryl Streep - but everyone else INCLUDING Olsen (which is such a disappointment cause she too is generally hilarious) falls flat - it's Corny and lame but not in a funny way, I mean even if u take the advise of the films title and binge - nope, nupers, naaah - no Bueno. Seriously though 8 can't recommend this even if you have time to kill because it's just not fun and it's definitely not funny - so please try it for yourselves if your so inclined, I just thought I'd offer a heads up.

So I had never watched The Binge before, and I started this movie without realizing it was a sequel until 20 minutes in. The thing is I went back and watched the first one after and it doesn't even compare to how funny the sequel is. I was hoping it was like Harold & Kumar's Christmas special and it was just as funny. I genuinely loved this film. It's so funny, like just stupid funny. Anyone who is mad at the humor doesn't appreciate good humor. No, but seriously if you like anything like Tim Robinsons I Think You Should Leave or any meta-humor, stupidly aware that its just being outrageous then you should like this film.

The Binge 2 was a truly awful movie. From the poorly written script to the wooden acting, it was clear that this was a film that should have never seen the light of day. In fact, I think it would have been more fitting if it had been called The Cringe instead.

The plot was predictable and cliche, with characters that were completely one-dimensional and lacked any depth or complexity. The dialogue was cringeworthy, with lines that were clearly meant to be funny but fell flat.

Overall, I was deeply saddened by how bad movies have become these days. It's a shame that Hollywood is churning out such poor quality content, and I can only hope that things will improve in the future. Until then, avoid The Binge 2 at all costs and save yourself the headache.

Definitely not your traditional Christmas movie, but honestly I enjoyed it even more than the first "Binge" movie. The movie was structured with many references to classic Christmas movies we've all seen, but often with hilarious twists and drug induced fantasies. Every scene felt like it's own skit, and if you are looking for a dumb, enjoyable movie just to laugh at I say check this one out! ESPECIALLY if you liked the ridiculousness of the first one. The movie was obviously not an Oscar winner, but it had so many fun characters and one of the funniest casts I've seen in a long time. Worth a watch, honestly worth a few watches.

I recommend watching it with a group of friends too, with a drink in your hand!
