Spoiler Alert Spank Down: No Non-Sequel Character Reviving.
Y'know, like Tommie Lee Jones dragging out his tough, guy cop dude from The Fugitive like twelve times in the last decade in a parade of films that more resemble an SNL skit than anything we'd actually want to see. Mr. Woodcock is a two-fer-one special with Billy Bob Thornton and Sean William Scott (and their six first names, wtf?) bringing their retread characters along, but leaving the writers, directors, and jokes behind. It's Bad Santa meats Stiffler's Mom in a ridiculous attempt to cash in on the residual laughter from a couple of hilarious films without all the hassle of actually writing jokes.
Mr. Woodcock from the title to the end credits has about as much nuance and subtlety as the porn title suggests. Can you really expect to see a movie called Woodcock and not feel like you just took it in the Exit Only door for 90 minutes?
Susan Sarandon is the lipstick on this pig of a film. I guess the original Stiffler's Mom had enough sense to see this wood cock coming and ran.
If you decide to see this film just remember the immortal words of Bad Santa who warned, "you ain't gonna shit right for a week."
