Meh
The original movie was a real guilty pleasure. Dark, twisted, funny and something very different from the million other saccharine and sentimental Christmas movies out there. The sequel is unfortunately very disappointing, it seems to think just consistently swearing is an acceptable substitute for actual humour . The writing is very weak and none of the actors look like they want to be there. It feels like a contractual obligation and a waste of talented actors like Billy Bob Thornton and Kathy Bates. The delightfully weird sandwich obsessed Thurman Murman does provide a bit of amusement and a few callbacks to the superior original but overall this is a poor sequel.

Really really bad
Saw this on Amazon Prime as I remembered the original and in fact have all the DVDs. Sorry but I gave up after episode three as it was so awful. This time it is set in America and yes it starts in the same way as the original with a dinosaur appearing in an American city and the lead character trying to find the time loop. Episode two was OK but episode three sealed it for me and it was removed from my watch list, but you may do better, although my son who did watch all the episodes said it never got any better.

Disapproval of original cast

Dumb, but mildly entertaining
When the entire original cast of the thing you're adapting refuse to cameo because they disapprove of the direction the project is taking, maybe it's time to rethink things? The movie has some great stunts, no question, and Daisy Duke is as hot as ever, but that's not enough to save the film from bad writing or the casting of Sean William Scott and Johnny Knoxville. I never watched the show, it was before my time, but I'm pretty sure it's fans would disapprove of this film.
