Happy Death Day 2U

Jessica Rothe is menaced yet again in Happy Death Day 2U
Christopher Landon's Happy Death Day 2U is a better than average sequel to a better than average teen slasher flick. The Groundhog Day premise of the first film is expanded utilizing the campus science nerds and the theory of relativity. Invention never flags even if the action is, by definition, formulaic. Even while working with cheesy scenarios, Landon's direction displays, once again, a winning sweetness. Jessica Rothe, a little long in the tooth to be playing a college student, delivers a disciplined performance that holds together the wispy plot threads and propels the action forward. Landon's films tend to be better constructed and paced than most bigger-budgeted Hollywood fare.
