I liked New Kids Turbo, so this one was kind of a no-brainer to watch. I expected more jokes, more edge, more stupid storylines. I got a really bland excuse of a film instead. I think the first 5 minutes were more or less promising, but the movie kind of lost its point after that. Maybe I had too high hopes for this one, but the jokes didn't seem as funny, the characters were even more disconnected than in the first movie and the story was just completely braindead. And while I do enjoy movies that are essentially loosely interconnected sketches, this one lacked the edge and came off as tired and kinda lame. Not worth a watch, let alone a rewatch.

I really wanted to like this movie - I enjoy dark comedies and the cast seemed promising. I couldn't help but feel there's a lot of potential here, but unfortunately it was let down by some questionable acting by Awkwafina and Janney's character also seemed like a bit off (and not in a good way). While you can try to ignore the overly stupid things (mainly the policework and other people reacting to the situation), the story itself seems like the director got bored halfway and fumbled something together. Pros - Kunis delivers the same performance as always. Some chuckles along the way, but nothing memorable. 5/10.
