No Spoilers/

I enjoyed this film. I really loved the original.

I was really looking forward to seeing it, but got tied up over the weekend.

I had wondered how they might retain the charm, irreverence of the original. They did well, even explaining how the backstory of this adventure really does connect to what we knew from the first installment.

I can admit that, in one of the last scenes, I was reminded of the interviews in Bushwhacked.

No coda.

Decent was all I was really hoping for here. First movie was great, but I didn't really see a need for a sequel or any real way of making one that had any impact now that his entire family is in on the joke.

Kinda got worried when I saw stills that suggested they were on a family vacation and was thinking about the "Beetlejuice in Hawaii" sequel they thankfully never made, and the "Weekend and Bernies 2" trash sequel that they actually did make.

Sounds like it's leaning somewhere closer to the first movie than it is jumping the shark. That's good.

I saw it with the old man today. We enjoyed it, but there's no contest... it doesn't even come close to the original. Worth a watch for sure if you loved the first movie.

SPOILERS AHEAD:

Biggest problem with the movie for sure was the Girl Boss ending on both sides of the coin. Cutesy a bit and forgivable on the "good guys" side, especially when you remember the "lore" from the first movie, and would probably be the only reason this movie would make a good date movie unless your girlfriend was pretty badass and loved the first movie too.

But any part where 80 year old Sharon Stone is destroying dudes is just barely believable only because of her acting chops. It really jumps the shark though when her two henchwomen with 2 or 3 throwaway lines all movie give Bob a bigger beating than he's ever gotten by any of the men in either flick. A beating so bad that he was only moments away from being killed if his wife didn't come and save the day at the end to Celene Dion's "The Power of Love".

It's possible that I'm being way too hard on it here, and it was meant as an extremly self-aware joke and I should have taken it that way, but when I told my old man the last 5 minutes of that movie felt like the 2nd season of Human Target he laughed pretty hard and agreed.

The reason I think it's a joke is because when the first henchwoman got shot in the forehead and killed by whoever did that (i already forget now), the other one lets out the most Leftist liberal shrink as if she just found out Trump won a 3rd Presidency and you just know they were lesbian lovers at that moment. That is funny to me because even though you had no other indication that would be the case since these characters had about 30 seconds of screen time all movie leading up to this last scene, that single shriek filled you in on so much missing back story between these two nameless characters. That was worth a pretty good laugh.

I would call this movie "Nobody Lite"...

It's Home Alone, directed by John Hughes with the suits behind the dumbing down of Ghostbusters 2 pulling the strings... but Kevin McCallister grew up and is played by Bob Odenkirk playing John Rambo in the final scene of "Rambo: Last Blood (2019)", but it's also in the same fictional town that either Roadhouse movie took place. And everything except for some cartoonish violence and swearing would make it PG13 if this were 1990 instead of 2025.

Still fun though, despite the complaints. Couple of really fun moments in there for sure.

6.5/10 as a Nobody movie. If it were its own movie I would have given it a 7/10.

I don't know what I gave the first one or if I gave it a rating here, but I'm sure it had to be at least a 9 or 9.5. I'd say that's a fair comparison between the two.
