"First, a confession: I totally underrated Happy Death Day. In the cesspool of tepid PG13 horror it was refreshingly self-aware, and more importantly, genuinely funny. It knew it was a comedy first and foremost, and honestly, I may have missed that. Anyway, let’s retroactively bump up my review a star."

Flicks
Flicks""Happy Death Day 2U" is more complicated than the first "Happy Death Day," but in this case more complicated means less fun."

Variety
Variety"Taking over screenwriting duties from the original's Scott Lobdell and straining the silliness past breaking, director Christopher Landon mounts a sequel that forgets to be scary."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Happy Death Day 2U is the worst kind of sequel, the staggeringly unnecessary kind that even the most hardcore Happy Death Day fans should avoid at all costs."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Fantasies, no matter how far-fetched, can work as long as they conform to fiction's laws of internal logic, but this script makes no effort to deal with the fault lines which show up at various stages during its convolutions."

Sydney Morning Herald"If you loved Happy Death Day, then I reckon you will be pretty happy with this sequel. Enjoy."

Stuff
Stuff""Happy Death Day 2U" can't quite replicate the feelings of joy and discovery of the original, but Landon deserves credit for varying the tune, while still playing the hits that will please the fans of its predecessor."

Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"2U throws enough wrinkles into the first film's action - if you don't remember it well, rewatch it before seeing this - to engage us."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"There are still some fun moments to be had and Rothe remains a charismatic force, but 2U definitely comes off as a rushed cash-in rather than a fresh idea."
