Faced with their biggest challenge yet, the gang sets out to honor a lost friend only to find themselves in the middle of where it all began -- Spring Break -- where they learn their old school ways of partying hardly compete with today's generation.

Miraculously, this clunker is worse than the original in every respect, but zero is as low as we can go. Like the original, “Spring Awakening” easily ranks among the worst movies of the year.

The only consistent element to Spring Awakening is its interminable stupidity.

Movies like Buddy Games: Spring Awakening do not come around as much as they used to. It wants audiences to turn off their brains and just have a good time. In today’s oh so serious cinematic landscape, it is a refreshing change of pace.

... is exactly the film you think it’s going to be: silly, crude, and purely for entertainment purposes and, on that mark, it delivers.

Rated: 3/5

One of the worst movies ever made. Whoever paid for this to be made should get a humanitarian award for paying everyone. Lowest brow humor with "C" list actors, at best. Admittedly never watched the first movie, and feel really great not to have. This is the worst example of where "comedy" movies are today.

While Buddy Games 1 is slightly amusing, this second edition is simply embarrassing and mostly just idiotic. Forced jokes, never really funny, and not much to even giggle occasionally. 2/10 points.

Scenes didn't flow, buddy games themselves were like 4 minutes of the movie.

Bad. I wanted to like it because I really enjoyed the first but ended up turning it off after an hour out of pure boredom.
