'Happy Death Day 2U' - Movie Review

Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) goes multi-dimensional. Wikipedia's characterizations of movies are getting really long: this one is apparently a "black comedy science fiction slasher film." Not that that's wrong, and it makes me feel a bit better about my more long-winded reviews ...

Recommended only for fans of "Happy Death Day" - because then you'll have some idea of what you're getting yourself into. In fact, I recommend the original ... while it had a number of issues, it was inventive and a lot of fun. However ... it didn't really seem like a movie that lent itself to a sequel. To my surprise, the writers got seriously inventive and managed to pull off something as good as the first movie. Fans of the original need to understand that the whole thing has taken a left turn into "Science Fiction," in the process dragging the previous movie with it. But Tree's frustrations, repetitions, and even rewards, have been well thought out and make a movie I may have enjoyed even more than the original.
