- The good news is that Happy Death Day 2U is actually quite a bit funnier and more ridiculous than the first film, and while it seems to have sacrificed scares for laughs, the tradeoff feels worth it as the fun factor is increased to fill the void.

Happy Death Day 2U (great title) is no longer a real horror film, though it contains a few well-done stalker-y scenes; now it's more about relationships and humor than it is about being scared of a masked killer. And it's far from a cheap sequel; it deepens the themes of the first film.

Writer/director Christopher Landon's Happy Death Day 2U seems to relish in all its little incongruities. It's over-the-top slapstick slasher absurdity manages to land just about 80% of the time but when the third act rolls around it begins to feel like it's stuck in a time loop just like its cast of plucky college protagonists. Still, welcome overstaying and clunkiness aside, it manages to be a fun, funny genre-bender great for some solid laughs and clever gimmicks.
Picking up almost exactly where the original, Happy Death Day (2017) left off, 2U once again focuses on Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) as she's forced to relive a day in her life over and over again, each time ending with her brutal death. Only this time, we're clued in as to why it's all happening.
Several supporting characters here seem to have wandered out of a different movie entirely for about half of the movie -- something a bit more Back to the Future-flavored, or maybe even a little bit Breakfast Club leaning -- but that's part of the fun. Happy Death Day 2U obviously wants the audience to be in on the joke, pulling out every stop to wink and nod at just about every college movie trope it can cram into every scene. You name it, this movie's got it.
Despite this slight clunkiness and an overcrowded script, Happy Death Day 2U deserves a healthy amount of praise for pushing its pedal to the metal all the way through. It's hard not to get the impression that no idea was really shot down in terms of generating story here, no matter how bonkers it all seemed. The level of risk-taking is refreshing,...
