The worst part is that this isn't an exception, as wownow productions has released a whole slough of movies of equal quality to this trash. It isn't even worth giving the dignity of a review.
We are doomed as a species and undeserving of God's grace.
Me either. Untill this revolutionary tale. A groundhog speaks for the left for the first time in decades. An unexplained air breathing shark named Tony Riptide who has a Scottish accent is the villain accomplice to an anteater whose mouth swings by his toes, representing the unapologetically anti-eco team - them, a stoic cockroach (hidden agenda?), 3 men (2 are the same. Hidden agenda?) And a "bully breed" dog. Let's not forget the rapping eagle.
Needless to say this is the best movie I have ever watched, the message is fantastic and the movie itself is hilarious. I will try to get all of my friends to watch this.
It clearly gives you signs that it isn't going to be any good in the beginning, which the title appears for the movie, and it has a typo in it saying "Grounghog Dave 2".
There is pretty much no effort or care that was put into the movie. The groundhog character looks so dead eyed and ugly to look at.
And the characters pretty much just stand there and monotonously talk for long periods of time with nothing going on, possibly to make it qualified as a feature film.
There is also no action or something to keep someone entertained, even though they probably wouldn't with the long talking and standing.
WOWNow Entertainment really needs to step up and make better movies, as they shouldn't be allowed to make and distribute so many trashy movies that are made in less than a month. So their reputation as a competent movie studio would increase, but I doubt it would happen with their recent movies.
I am only happy that I didn't pay money to see it, but rather watch a smidge of the movie for free on the Peacock streaming service, I didn't feel like watching all of it as most of the movie is mind numbing and dumb.
The plot is so convoluted it borders on nonsensical. There's some badly animated groundhog with precognition, what I think is an aardvark, and a reindeer who I guess is one of Santa's helpers or something? Whatever the case, his voice is awful. Dude sounds like he's perpetually drooling. The plot involves some CEO not wanting to lose money on booking the world's worst rapper after the titular Dave predicts the end times, so he builds a weather controlling antenna and recruits a dog he saved from a no-kill shelter and what looks like somebody's WoW characters, to... beat up Dave? And I guess do construction? He's very vague; he just recites his evil plan, the dog offers to bust kneecaps, and the evil CEO says "don't do that" and then... later on the dog takes a swing at the reindeer.
The dialogue is awful. The animations are bad. They don't want to spend the time actually animating anything beyond stock animations so about half of the movie occurs off screen and then the characters will be like, "WOW. I CANT BELIEVE WE DID X AND Y AND Z AND SAVED (REDACTED)!" And you just have to imagine what occurred.
Characters just show up and leave constantly. There's inexplicable humans. There's a background horse with a full-size horse head and a teeny tiny body. There's a psychic tree. Its eyes will haunt my dreams.
Definite recommendation. It's awful. Hilariously so.
