The Skynyrd Scene Was The Best...

I remember becoming excited upon hearing they were making a sequel to the 2001 David Spade comedy, but then more recently went back and watched it again for the first time in over a decade, and why exactly was I so excited-?? LOL I also was not aware this was going direct to online- was thinking it would be a theatrical release. "Beautiful Loser" is the first made-for-a-website sequel to a theatrically released film. Crackle decided to do this to develop their film studio. The first review I read for this was, let's just say, not pretty...LOL So I had very little in the way of high expectations for this when I got around to watching it the other night. But the film actually wasn't all that bad.

It kinda does a take-off on "Forrest Gump" this time around with Joe telling his second story to a lady on a park bench. This time the movies goes into the supernatural a bit with a whole time-travel angle. I would say the most amusing scene in the film was Joe sitting around talking to a teenage preppy young Lynyrd Skynyrd-??- but other than that, unless you're a huge fan of the original, I'd go watch something else, in fact there is probably better original material on Crackle-??
