One of my kiddo's absolute favorites.
Lots of gore, plenty of girls in bikinis, and just a solid amount of laughs. Simple as that.

Honestly? I think the first movie had one of the best endings ever. I’ve probably rewatched that final scene ten times by now—I die laughing every single time...😁

Can't wait to see this one, though judging by the trailer, it looks like it’s sticking pretty close to the original vibe...

Honestly, this one is such a massive departure from its predecessor! While the original was clearly trying way too hard to be a legitimate horror flick, this sequel doesn't take itself seriously for even a second. It’s filmed on a shoestring budget and leans heavily into that cheeky, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. To be fair, the special effects are pretty terrible, but honestly, for a movie like this—full of gratuitous nudity and some decent enough gore—that’s almost part of the charm rather than a flaw. You definitely shouldn't watch Jaws looking for deep cinematic meaning... but if you grab a cold beer, it’s an absolute blast!

Here are a few little nuggets of info that might actually convince you to give it a watch... the director is the same guy behind the Feast trilogy, and we get to see Vin Diesel, Paul Scheer, and Christopher Lloyd reprising their roles from the first installment. Plus, the legendary Gary Busey makes a cameo! But the real cherry on top? Of course, it's the king of the beach, the patron saint of cheap booze, bad acting, and singing, David Hasselhoff... playing himself. 🙂

Is this actually one of the best movies you've ever seen?
Look, I'll do you a favor and drop a few recommendations so you can finally see what real cinema looks like 😛 😉

If $20M counts as a micro budget, then sure 😬

The last one was total nonsense, but still fun enough to watch. This one? Barely watchable and zero fun...

Seriously, what's the deal with twenty million being considered a budget for a movie now? Most directors wouldn't even bother getting off the couch for that kind of money! 🙂

I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume you haven't even hit sixteen yet... Honestly, the only redeeming quality of that first movie was his performance, but even then... Jerry O'ConnellHe’s actually one of my favorite actors, which makes the rest of this absolute garbage even harder to swallow...

He pulled it off in the first part... Richard Dreyfuss (They kill him off right at the beginning...)

Whether it's 16 or not, seeing breasts and butts is always welcome.😛

Are you being serious? That's pocket change these days...

I'm looking for cheap thrills from this flick. Nothing more, nothing less.

I actually had a blast with the last sequel. This one? I watched it last night and it was honestly painful—almost unwatchable. It’s just a collection of recycled jokes from the first movie and nothing else. The only saving grace is David Hasselhoff poking fun at himself. Overall, it’s a movie made for horny teenagers who have never seen a pair of breasts in their lives... My advice: if you're over 17, skip it!

I honestly feel bad for anyone who paid money for this junk. It didn't even deserve a digital release, let alone a theatrical run...

I remember sitting down with my fiancée one night to watch Valentine's day, starring over ten massive Hollywood names...
We had Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, and a whole crowd of others...

We went in expecting a decent romantic comedy with maybe a few laughs...

Instead, we got the flattest script and most shallow characters ever put to film, along with exactly one funny scene...

It was a total letdown. This is just trash for the sake of being trash. Honestly, if this thing actually delivers on the gore and nudity, I doubt anyone will be disappointed.

The movie would have been completely pointless without the 3D effect, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. I can't stand American humor; I find 🤮
absolutely repulsive.

What an absolute disaster. 🙂I can't believe every single site is pushing this thing. Look, I wasn't exactly raving about the first one—but at least it offered some actual entertainment? It actually managed to strike a balance between horror and humor. This sequel, however, just leans into this obnoxious slapstick comedy where the jokes are incredibly crude. The directing is subpar, and the plot—my god—is just exhausting. I know people say the story doesn't matter, but how am I supposed to sit through characters this lazy and cliché? Honestly, you might enjoy this if you're completely depraved (in which case, maybe just watch porn instead?) or if you're a total psychopath who lives for gallons of blood and kids getting decapitated. 😁 They could have at least made better use of David Hasselhoff, who is easily the best part of the whole movie.

The last half hour has been pure gold. Honestly, I almost lost it when that guy from the first movie showed up.

Guy: "I don't know if I can do this."
Guy: "All you gotta do is take baby steps. Little baby steps."
Guy: "What the hell are you talking about, baby steps? In case you haven't noticed, a fish ate my damn legs!"

😂

To me, the whole movie felt pretty lackluster... just kind of uninspired and totally missed the mark, honestly. The characters were nothing more than walking clichés, and the humor? Well, it just didn't land for me at all... It felt like a complete retread of things we've seen a thousand times before, lacking any real spark of originality, and there are definitely much better films out there if you're looking for something worth your time.

I suppose it feels as though the filmmakers didn't even bother making a genuine attempt at crafting something original or engaging; it seems their primary objective was simply to throw a handful of 3D gimmicks at the screen to see what stuck. 😁

I’m just sitting here staring at the movie banner right now... it's actually playing in theaters. It is quite interesting to see that AMC Theatres is showing it—they're practically shouting it from the rooftops with all this advertising—especially since they recently tore into the selection over at Larin and refused to screen it altogether... they certainly seem to have such deep, heartfelt concern for the audience, don't they?

I honestly can't remember the last time I sat through something that total garbage. It was absolute trash. I have zero clue why I even wasted my time watching it. 😕

I honestly couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear during the entire movie... is it just me, or was anyone else actually having a blast with that ridiculous, tongue-in-cheek humor? It was so wonderfully lowbrow!🙂
