The infamous baby-face-masked murderer has come back once again to ruin Tree Gelbman’s day. In the first movie, Tree fought and died many times to find her killer and save her life.
The movie starts out with Ryan, Carter’s friend and roommate, waking up exactly as Tree did, reliving the same day over and over. But within the first ten minutes, the curse switches over to Tree. As far as the audience knows, Ryan only had to suffer through a few deaths and Tree is reliving her nightmare all over again.
While it is fun to try and piece together all the evidence and figure out who is under the mask, for a second time, it is too redundant. Yes, that is the theme of the movie, but Tree relives the same day from the first film; it’s like re-watching the first movie.
Besides some acting that might leave you cringing, there are too many attempts to try and make this movie funnier with jokes that either weren’t funny to begin with or the acting wasn’t good enough to land the joke.
“Happy Death Day 2U” has the same plot as the first film and in the beginning, a different victim. Then, the victim is the same as the one in the first “Happy Death Day”. Although we learn what caused Tree to live the same day over and over, not much is different. To be honest, this should not have been made into a sequel.
The only good thing about this sequel is the mystery of who the killer is. Unfortunately, it is not worth watching unless you want to see the adorable Israel Broussard again.
