This is not a movie
colbycartoonisttl14 November 2021
For all intents and purposes this does not qualify as a film. It is an hour long trip into pain and suffering. I have seen many torturous movies in my time on this earth, but even the worst I've seen could not possibly compare. I have a new found appreciation for the art of film and animation, for even the most bare bones effort in either will result in something far better than Groundhog Dave 2.

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.

Is this even a movie?
chukoloco14 October 2021
Groundhog Dave 2 is not just a abysmal movie, it feels like it doesn't even count as one.

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.

I want to explode. Hard.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The characters don't move. The scenes go on for and uncomfortably long time. The characters are ridiculous, annoying, and dislikable. The main character is way to serious...

But yet. I couldn't peel my eyes away.

It was horrifying, but astounding Putrid, but glorious Confusing, but straightforward.

A must watch for anyone who wants to have an excuse to bleach their eyes.

Oh! Almost forgot to mention that two main characters are wildly violent, and overall, this whole movie is. A dog character tells a crudely animated creature he is going to tear down houses and bust knee caps. The reindeer and the titular character, Dave, get into several fights (none of which they show because they couldn't animate more then idle motions that come off as intense twitching) and a rapper eagle is sent to KILL the main characters?!?!? I don't know. This is a bad bad bad movie.

What?
dabige-4895821 May 2022
This movie felt like a cut scene of a game like Skylanders. The way that the characters move and are animated seemed like a final project of a seventh grade 3d animation course, The it was so lazily animated that the characters have the same mouth movement for every five minute or so dialog chunk and would "rubber-band" when walking and talking. They also cut away to avoid animating an entertaining scene and you would just hear dialog of the action such as the two times that a character fights two antagonists. However, if you can get past the terrible animation buckle up for a whole lot of dialog. For three to five minuets, you will get character interaction as a sorry attempt to move plot along when nothing in the outside world ever happens. I legit hope that lightning strikes WowNow "Entertainment" and burns it to the ground.

A Movie that Exists Outside of Decency
Bob2Network22 May 2022
If you are in the mood for a sixty eight minute video cut-scene, watch this movie. If you are interested in watching a hard hitting expose about climate change that hits softer than Diet Coke in Utah, watch this movie. There is no plot, no development, and, frankly, no reason that this movie should have been made. In my personal opinion, this movie classifies as a hate crime against all of society. Don't watch it. Please, for my sake, don't watch this movie. The animation is a terrible recycling of shots. The characters stand around and talk for over an hour. Countless scenes lead to nowhere. There's an inclusion of an armadillo named Lenny who hits on the main character. Groundhog Dave has a premonition about the rapture and all anyone wants is an eagle to drop the worst bars in the history of rap music. Once again, don't watch this film. Please, don't.

Absolute Perfection
caryd-928727 October 2021
A true masterpiece. They title sequence spells it "GROUNGHOG DAVE" and it only improves from there. A must see.

What Did I Just Watch?
kogodogox3 October 2021
My partner has been stuck on the couch due to an injury and so we've been watching a lot of potentially so-bad-it's-funny stuff we found on streaming services. And, while looking through Peacock, we found a promising movie that... didn't even have a preview thumbnail with the name of the film on it. We clicked it out of curiosity and were met with a sure sign something good was coming: they spelled the word "Groundhog" wrong on the title card.

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.

One of the best movies ever
huggardblake13 December 2021
Have you ever seen a earth shaking (no pun intended) riveting tale that captures the gaze of our youngest veiwers about CLIMATE CHANGE?

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.
