Happy Death Day 2U
It’s dejà vu at Bayfield University again for “Tree” Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) & company who are caught in another time loop but now with a “Big Bang Theory” twist. This is a sequel to the 2017 horror/comedy original which many likened to “Groundhog Day” or “Edge of Tomorrow” but I️ characterized it to be more closely like “Before I️ Fall”. After seeing the original, I️ couldn’t fathom where a Part 2 could take audiences & still feel new given the already repetitive nature of the plot. But the filmmakers were creative here as they tell the same story but it still has a different new twist. Once again, Rothe is terrific as only person who knows the day (her birthday) is repeating & must find out whose is killing her & her friends. Tree also must make difficult decision involving her loved ones. Although it is not absolutely necessary to see the first film to enjoy this one, but it is more fun if you did. This film leans more towards comedy than to the horror genre in case you worried. Stay seated for one more humorous mid-credit clip.
Alien gives it 3 “SISSY” stars out of 4.
