I grew up on the 2002 original film, and rewatched that one time and time again. That movie had a solid script, great zingers, and the jokes/pranks that the kids played were more practical.
This is almost a carbon copy of the 2002 film, and poorly designed with a lot of slapstick and phony heart. The filmmakers try a modern twist - instead of Shepard's essay being plagiarized, it's a video game schematic.
While the main duo isn't horrible at acting, the actor who portrayed Wolf didn't make for a convincing villain. After 40 minutes it was clear that nothing would come together. I was starting to feel bad for Wolf. Yeah he stole the kid's idea, but drugging his smoothie and energy drinks isn't really fair game.
The original film still holds up and this isn't a true sequel. It's regurgitated nonsense.
