If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Pure, unadulterated 80s trash - somehow featuring Robert Vaughan, who must have had urgent bills to pay at the time. Regular folks need not apply, only 80s trash fanatics.As others have observed, there's no connection whatsoever with the OG CHUD. It's just a zombie spoof. Low budget B movie. Absurd plot, of course. Hilarious theme song. Bud the Chud. So funny. Hearing Vaughan say "bud the chud" as dialogue is even funnier. It's not the worst 80s movie out there by a country mile, but it's not the best by the same margin. Enjoy!

OK do I get to really rip on this thing without having watched all of it? I'm going to anyways. How much of spoiled milk do you need to drink before you know not to drink the rest? I couldn't make it through 10 minutes of this. It was just horrible. Especially because I liked the original C.H.U.D., quite a bit. I thought the story and effects of the first CHUD to be very nice, and even the acting was pretty decent, despite what other reviewers have said. So imagine my dismay when I started this thing up and the monster has no effects, no gore, no nothing that makes a horror movie a horror movie, nothing even the slightest bit startling. Just a little bit of white powder, some dark powder around the eyes. That's not a CHUD! It's just not. If they wanted to call it some other totally unrelated movie, I would not give it the lowest possible rating. But they didn't, they took a movie i really liked and absolutely trashed it with complete disregard for the tastes of the original's viewers. So they just wanted target audience they knew they otherwise had no chance of getting it. It's just a sucker punch, knowing that some people would get roped into this horrible movie simply because they loved the original so much. C.H.U.D. 1 is still a very popular movie and it really holds up well. Bud the Chud, however, never should have happened. Frankly i think the original holders of the creative content should find a way to sue the current owner until they relinquish all claim to it. Current holder of the creative content amounts to an unfit parent.I can not understand how the votes or comments are less than horribly negative here. All i can imagine is that I hear of a teacher involved in this production, and I think they have their students in here saying nice comments and voting it up. They will probably vote this review down but it doesn't make it any less true! If you liked the first C.H.U.D., DO NOT WATCH THIS. It actually made me kinda angry. They could have made some really great CHUD sequels but instead we got this *bleep*. Maybe its because someone involved in this travesty is a teacher, they were able to abuse that position to attain the rights from the first C.H.U.D, like it was a student project or something? I just don't understand how a movie this bad happens without everyone involved knowing that they're basically scamming people out of their money.

If you happen to come across "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" and are expecting a logical sequel to the 1984 cult-classic, you will only walk away disappointed. If, however, you are in the mood for a nice, healthy portion of late-80's cheese, then this zombie-spoof just may be the ticket! After two bumbling teenage buddies (Brian Robbins and Bill Calvert) misplace a cadaver intended for their high school science class, they find a replacement in Bud (Gerrit Graham). Bud is a C.H.U.D. (which, if you recall the first film, stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) and seeing as how he is the last of his kind, the government sees fit to stuff him away in a minimum security facility in a podunk little town. The two pry the titular Chud from the facility with minimal effort, and after killing the family dog and clogging the toilet, Bud strolls through town, turning anyone and everyone he comes across into a like-minded zombie, on the prowl for a little fun and a little flesh.This film is ridiculous, that's for sure. Whether it's the goofball dialog, the "Thriller" inspired dance number or the theme song that accompanies Bud, there is hardly a moment where it looks like anyone took what they were doing seriously when making this film. It has a real fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants spirit that maybe made its producers and distributors nervous, but nevertheless, translates to a gloriously goofy good time. Vibrant performances are in abundance, with everyone from seasoned actor Robert Vaughn, who viciously chews up the scenery, to the beautiful Tricia Leigh Fisher, the supportive girlfriend who finds herself the object of Bud's affection. Go into this one with expectations of a care-free good-time and you'll likely find "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" to be a blast.

Seriously, this movie has basically very little to do with the movie "C.H.U.D." from 1984. Biggest difference is that "C.H.U.D." took itself serious as an horror movie, while "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" is more fun and obviously a movie that you simply shouldn't take serious. It's typical '80's cheese but it's tasty. It's silly and enjoyable, the perfect movie to kill some time with if you want some simple silly fun. The movie is really not halve as bad as everyone says it is.Instead of featuring cannibalistic underground humanoid dwellers this movie features more zombie like creatures, which of course makes this a totally different movie to watch.It's actually a real ridicules movie, that features a real simplistic story but it becomes all the more fun because of that. The fact that the movie doesn't take itself too seriously can be seen back at it at times idiotic humor, which becomes quite hilarious actually at times. The movie also features some nice comical dialog from time to time.Also the fun B-movie performances from the movie its actors make this movie a fun one to watch. Robert Vaughn definitely seemed to realize in what for a mess he got stuck in. He plays his character over-the-top and humorously. His performances often had something witty but always with class. In this movie he isn't holding back however and his performance can be seen as a full-blood comedy performance.If your able to appreciate some silly B-horror movie '80's cheese, this is a perfect movie for you.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
