#Dumb, #Dumber, and #Dumberest - the third installment in the series reunites the original cast of the first two, with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels joined by a cousin, who for some reason is played by a digital recreation of Rob Schneider. Plot is unknown, but likely doesn't matter.

Porky's: The Next Generation - a reboot to try to re-establish the franchise on the basis that #sophomoric #comedy has fallen into a rut. Plot has been modernized; since Hollywood no longer plays high school characters as virgins, three friends try to get their buddy to go viral on #TikTok. Stars Austin Butler, Tom Holland, Levi Miller, and Conor Sherry, and is for some reason directed by a digital recreation of Bob Clark.

Promising Young Woman 2 - as the original Promising Young Woman (2020) was unexpectedly profitable, you knew a sequel was coming. Some #retconning was required to re-establish the character of Cassandra, who memorably died in the original film. Carey Mulligan returns for a large paycheque, with an otherwise all-new cast. Script by a digital recreation of Emerald Fennell's cat.

And who said creativity in Hollywood was dead?

3/3
