One-sentence summary: Two years after the events of the first film, Becky finds herself at the center of a small-town insurrection with far-reaching implications.
In all honesty, it never crossed my mind that Becky (2020) would get a sequel, so it took me by complete surprise when I saw that The Wrath of Becky was playing at my local theater. The story is a standard mishmash of previously successful movies. Think John Wick meets Home Alone. Nevertheless, the filmmakers nailed the tone and style, balancing the lighthearted fun and brutal violence nicely. The script could've been a tad tighter, but I admire how they continue to offer longtime comedic actors an opportunity to demonstrate their range. Even if Seann William Scott doesn't quite match Kevin James' performance from the first film, he is still one of the biggest reasons to watch the sequel. I'm not going to tell you to move this to the top of your watchlist, but The Wrath of Becky is a fun way to kill 90 minutes.

A John Wick style slasher is something I didn't know I wanted to watch. This movie was full of fun over the top slasher moments with an action thriller back-drop.
I do think the writing lacked a bit, but I also think great writing isn't needed in a film like this.
Seann William Scott was brilliant and I loved seeing him in a different role than what I'm used to.
This movie is easy to watch and lives up to its expectation as a non-serious, fun, action-thriller.
Unfortuantely the villians are forgettable and for the future of these films I can see it needing to be more and more ridiculous and fun for it to stay relevant.
But that's just IMO. (:

In THE WRATH OF BECKY, Lulu Wilson reprises her avenging angel role in order to take on another group of murdering scumbags. This time, it's a bunch of knuckle-dragging yahoos known as the "Noble Men" (a thinly-veiled reference to a real organization). So, yes, this sequel gets a bit more political. However, that point becomes moot, and all but forgotten, once the first head explodes!
After all, these movies are all about Becky, and the fools who dare to cross her. The Directors up the ante in this one, as Becky finds herself in -somewhat- greater peril. Her new adversaries seem to have one or two extra I. Q. points over their predecessors. Well, at least one of them might.
The humor level is also higher, with several laugh-out-loud moments.
Another gory action-fest for the revenge film aficionado...

The Wrath Of Becky is a real treat for those who enjoys stories about revenge. As for me (someone who worships I Spit On Your Grave), this movie is a really delicious meal for my mind. Just like the first movie (Becky), this movie contains an insane amount of gore. So if you can't stomach it, don't watch this movie. Consider this a friendly warning. Now, on to the story! Like the first movie, this one is about Becky getting even with the people who wronged her. I won't tell you specifically what the wrongdoings are, but it's bad. Just like in the first movie. Real bad. And Becky is angry now, so get ready to see some blood spilled. Or... splattered, to be precise.
The Wrath of Becky is a surprisingly solid follow-up to the first movie. It builds on the campy revenge vibe but adds a bit more depth to Becky's character while still keeping things fun and action-packed. I kind of went in with low expectations and I came out impressed, it's better than I thought it would be.
Lulu Wilson absolutely owns the role, and I'd gladly watch her in future sequels if they keep this series going. The movie has enough twists and wild moments to keep you entertained, and it does justice to the first film while still feeling fresh. A decent and enjoyable sequel for sure.

The Wrath of Becky: Two years later Becky (Lulu Wilson) is back, an opening scene and graphics in the titles show how Becky and her dog Diego have passed through several foster families and gone on the run, having many adventures before she meets up with an elderly woman, Elena (Denise Burse) who gives them a home and treats Becky as an equal. Now 16, Becky hones her survival skills in the woods. She works in a Diner and clashes with members of the Noble Men, an extremist Christian group with misogynistic tendencies. They follow her home and break in, resulting in a deadly confrontation, Diego is also stolen. Becky sets out for revenge but discovers that a vaster conspiracy is at play here, the broader group intend to provoke violence at a rally in a nearby town. A certain element of dark humour infuses her preparations and deaths which occur. Some extremely violent deaths and mutilations will almost make you laugh but there is also a seriousness about the encompassing plot (even if it has a few holes suspension of disbelief is easy in this case). Again let squeamish beware lest the gore frighten them. In a cameo Kate Siegel plays a CIA Agent. Directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote. Angel wrote the screenplay based on a story by himself and Coote. 7.5/10.
Two years after surviving the siege by Neo-Nazis that killed her father, Becky (Lulu Wilson) has been living off the grid working as a waitress and renting a room from her friend and sympathetic landlord Elena (Denise Burse). When a trio of far right ultranationalists called Noble Men come to the diner and subject Beck to several rude comments, Becky spills coffee on the lap of the group's de facto leader Anthony (Michael Sirow) under the pretense of it being an accident. Anthony angered by this takes his two companions DJ (Aaron Dalla Villa) and the more reluctant Sean (Matt Angel) to get revenge of Becky with the three staging a home invasion that kills Elena and steal Becky's dog Diego. As the Noble Men gather at their leader Darryl's (Seann William Scott) home to discuss a siege on city hall, Becky tracks them down and exacts bloody unrelenting vengeance upon the Noble Man.
The Wrath of Becky is the sequel to 2020's Becky which garnered positive reviews thanks to Lulu Wilson's performance as the titular character as well as a chilling against type performance from comedic actor Kevin James as the leader of a Neo Nazi gang. The Wrath of Becky sees romantic and creative partners Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote taking over for the writing and directing this time around having previously helmed some smaller scale horror films. The Wrath of Becky sees the duo take Becky to some interesting places while also providing the same acerbic humor and splatter filled fun of the previous entry.
While the first Becky was very much a home invasion type setup, The Wrath of Becky goes in for more of a vigilante/revenge angle with both Angel and Coote citing films such as Kill Bill and Kick-Ass as inspirations for tone and approach. The filmmakers have a lot of fun with Becky's barely contained rage as we're given some great maniacal takes from Lulu Wilson's Becky who revels in unleashing painful and sadistic retribution on those who wrong her, but only when they really deserve it and you can bet these guys deserve it and then some. In keeping with the first film's bold against type casting, Seann William Scott is a lot of fun as Darryl who provides not only a hateful antagonist, but a well-acted one with several scenes of simmering intensity that will have you on edge. The movie delivers all the great spatter filled kills you expect from a movie like this and it does a nice job of keeping itself moving making all it can of its economic runtime.
I enjoyed The Wrath of Becky as the purest form of trashy entertainment and from a technical and structural standpoint I like it better than the first one. The movie lays the ground work for continuation and given where Becky ends up it'll be an interesting departure to say the least if we get a third one.

The first "Becky" isn't especially imaginative, but it's entertaining enough to spend 1.5 hours when nothing better is on. It has a fun premise, an actual plot, and goofy Kevin James from "The King of Queens" fame was surprisingly good as the antagonist. This one is just BAD. So bad, I almost felt sorry for the actors.
Unlike the first however, this one is an intentionally over-the-top dark comedy/parody of every clichéd stereotype of a certain 'segment' of Americans. BUT, it's not funny or clever or cute. And with a running time less than 1.5 hours, it doesn't even have a chance to set anything up. It's over before you know it.

Lulu Wilson returns as Becky in this sequel, now three years older and on the run from foster care placements. While on the run, she befriends a kindly old woman who doesn't ask her a lot of questions and allows her to stay in her countryside home. However, there is yet another home invasion, once again by white supremacists, who make the mistake of killing her elderly benefactor. That's when Becky goes full Charles Bronson DEATH WISH on these racist dirtbags at their own compound, conducting a fun and bloody game of cat and mouse. As with the first film, this one casts a comedian in the lead villain role, so instead of Kevin James you get Sean "AMERICAN PIE" William Scott as the main villain. This sequel features a new writer and director who get the tone right this time, leaning more into the dark humor of a cute blond teen girl wreaking bloody havoc on reprehensible villains, which the first film did not do enough of. Lulu Wilson, as in the first film, is terrific as Becky. Although this sequel is more cartoony than the first, Wilson again brings real emotion to the part than you'd expect. For fans of these sorts of over-the-top gore fests (myself included), there's enough action, carnage, and twisted humor to make THE WRATH OF BECKY a must-see.

I have sought out and seen dozens of "girl gets revenge" films. Love them. I swore I had seen "Becky" in another film, but IMBD didn't say there's was "1st" film , but there was (Becky) and I rank it higher. This rates near the top of pg13 teen-girl-gets-revenge films. Yes, it's a little over contrived but not so much to detract. Becky could be the daughter Buffy and. John Wick absent any supernatural antagonists. Becky has surprises and Suspense; Wrath of Becky is tamer. Eggs there's never a part that you want to FF because your sitting on the edge of your sofa/chair like Becky. . Negatives: it's not a suspense/thriller like it promotes-at least for me and it's not in today's horror genre - at all. The gore is moderate to fair. There's a lot of foreshadowing, so her " how's she going to get out of this one" scenes were expected. But every minute keeps us entertained. Lastly, it's seems almost like a pilot for a new film or even TV series and, if so, the direction it's taking is passé.

Is this film cheesy? You bet! But... is it to be taken seriously? Damn straight! Why? Because, as we learned in this film's first installment (entitled "Becky", what else?) nobody messes with little Becky.
This time though, the bad guys make a really poor decision. They kidnap Diego. Diego, people!!! The fools!!!
Oh, the mayhem that results is special and candid and quite entertaining. If you're a guy-type, I suspect. Such as myself.
So, what will you get out of watching "The Wrath of Becky"? A newfound respect for all things Becky and several wonderful new catchphrases that are certain to enliven any party!

This film is a pathetic example of when someone tried too hard to make a protagonist a badass, but fails because the character is just lame. Seems rushed, poorly planned and generally a waste of time, so save yourself from this diatribe and avoid watching this, its not even good bad, just bad bad.
I'm not looking for a realistic interpretation of what could happen in this kind of situation, but my gosh, this is is so ridiculous I cannot even take any moment seriously.
Sean William Scott is fantastic, and is the only good thing about this film.
EVERY THING THAT HAPPENS IN THIS FILM IS BECKY'S FAULT. She is a selfish little brat. I actually started to hope that they would just kill her and we can all celebrate.

First of all, when they announced that they were making a sequel, I was so happy because I really enjoyed the first movie. Eventually, when I first watched the official trailer of the second movie, I really enjoyed it and I was so hyped about it. The plot of the movie was very interesting, but it was similar to the previous movie. The storyline was well-written and well-explained, even though it was very simple and easy to understand. The characters were very interesting and well-developed, but most of them were dislikable (except, Becky). Also, the casting was nice and their acting was descent. The killcount of the movie was way better than the original movie, because it was very bloody, brutal and gory. Sadly, there weren't many action-filled scenes, but it was very intense. The opening scene of the movie was definitely unpredictable, very funny and really promising. The 2nd was fast-paced, full of death scenes and it was enjoyable. The ending scene was kinda predictable and there weren't any plot twists. Overall, "The Wrath of Becky" was an enjoyable sequel, very bloody, funny and I would definitely recommend it to my friends. Last but not least, I'm definitely looking forward for a third movie!
I really loved the first movie, and was excited to see this one. They both have comedy actors playing bad guys, and both pull it off so well it's a wonder we didn't see it before.
But this one is just different. The first one had Becky come out of nowhere, a little girl of pure rage and cunning. And the enemies were Nazis, who everyone hates.
Don't get me wrong, the bad guys in this one were awful people, but it got a little too political for my liking. Secondly, this one put Becky on the offense, which makes it somehow even more ridiculous of an idea.
Was it fun? Sure. Was it as good as the first? Not even close.

I really loved the first movie and this one was pretty great as well. It didn't feel as tense as the first, but the characters in this one were a bit more rounded out and real in this. Sean William Scott was incredibly good in this and I enjoyed seeing him do a role that wasn't comedy...much like Kevin James did in the first movie. Lulu Wilson is terrific in this one as well and I really hope a third film is in the works where we can see her taking down the names on the list (hopefully we get a montage of her whacky kills...and many of them) and finally find out what the deal with the key is. I've always loved movies with bad ass female leads and I hope someday Becky Hooper will be as synonymous as Ellen Ripley, Buffy Summers, or Sarah Connor.

My review for "The Wrath of Becky", which was the very first to feature here on its page since I watched the world-première at the Brussels' International Festival of Fantastic Films, has mysteriously vanished. Don't know why, I don't think there's anything too offensive about it. Here's attempt #2.
Whatever happened to numbering sequels? Or at least using words that clearly indicate the film in question is a sequel, like "return" or "revenge". It took me until after I purchased a ticket for "The Wrath of Becky" to realize this is actually a sequel to 2020's "Becky". I hadn't seen or even heard about the original before, but luckily there's no harm done. This movie features a brief and hectically edited summary of the events in "Becky" at the beginning, and there isn't much else you need to know.
Becky is unusually feisty for a 16-year-old, and her adventure with murderous Neo-Nazis in the previous film made her even more cynical and emotionally numb. When the one person she cares about gets murdered, and her beloved dog kidnapped, by patriotic extremists (= basically just racist rednecks), she transforms into a merciless killing machine with a cute bonnet.
I watched "The Wrath of Becky" at midnight in a crowded festival theater, and that's exactly how I recommend it to others; - at a festival or with a bunch of friends. It's a horror crowd-pleaser, plain and simple. The whole plot builds up to a handful of gritty and imaginative kills, and that's exactly what you're getting. It's not plausible or tense, it's not particularly intelligent or original, but you won't regret watching it for a second. Lulu Wilson is delightful as the youthful avenging angel, and Sean William Scott is quite convincing in an atypical role.

Huge fan of the original Becky. So creative and awesome bloody kills! Loved it!
So this one didn't even come close.,, the focus seems to be the delivering of a political narrative and the bad guys beliefs. This isn't fun as it stays the focus instead of awesome kills and fun. This isn't 2020-2021 and it's just silly and annoying. My expectations for this film were actually high given how awesome the first one was.. I know if you watched the first film I won't be able to keep you from watching this one but it's sadly a flat tire.,,and it could have been so awesome. Sad when you see how wrapped up people are in their absurd opinions today.

Im pretty surprised to see a follow up to the revenge thriller, but im glad there is one. Lulu Wilson is back as becky, now 16 she runs away from many foster homes and lives with a nice woman with her dog from time to time. She works at a diner but some bad men follow her home after she humiliates one of them. This movie is a short one at only hour and twenty something minutes but its time well used. If it were longer it would not be as impactull. Becky finds their cabin for her revenge. And if you like revenge thrillers this is a film for you. Its pretty gory but fun. Lulu is a treat to watch and overall I loved it.
