Sucked

Rating: 4/10 (21 June 2020)

I watched the first... 25 min and I was bored to death. Turned if off, so my rating of 4 isn't necessarily accurate but here's my initial quarrel with the "spin-off" to Forgetting Sarah Marshall:
1. Jonah Hills character has a different name than what his characters name was In Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Yet he's supposed to be playing the same character?
2. His job in Forgetting Sarah Marshall was at the hotel in Hawaii yet now he's working for some label? And not in Hawaii?
3. Random actors that were in Forgetting Sarah Marshall are in this but are not playing their original characters?
If you're going to make a spin-off at the very least, have the lead actor be playing his character from the original movie. Not some made up new name, new job, new location - no correlation to the first movie at all character play the lead. You might as well just make a stand-alone movie instead of a "spin-off". Just because two of the same actors are in it doesn't make it a spin-off. Hell, give Russel Brands character a new name while you're at it.
I liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall, so don't get me wrong. I watch 25 min of this movie, didn't laugh once and overall confused as to... where is the spin off? Other than Russel Brands Character having the same name and job title....
