Decent concepts never seem to last beyond the first movie.
It seems, the acorn of creativity that blossoms in the original somehow becomes diluted, poisoned almost, so that the heart and soul and spark are ripped clean leaving only the vaguest of husks to propagate, to continue, to evolve. Here, a good concept - how the tiniest change has huge ramifications somewhere down the line - is retapped and found dorely wanting.

The movie in brief:
Featuring a smattering of humans so bereft of passion you suspect a lobotomy was a pre-requisite for landing the role, we follow a despicable pool of unlikeable sorts as their lives are guided and altered by one chinless wonder following a fatal car crash. After the crash, Chinless develops the ability to alter the past by gazing forlornly into photographs depicting poor special effects, transporting back to that very moment to live through it again and, potentially, change the outcome.

Thank the Christ's no one took a snap of him mid-defecation else he would have been compelled to endure the same torment as we, the viewer.
Sub soap-opera levels of sentimentalising and a plotline so porous you could strain your own cum through it to seive out the lumps, this is a baaaad sequel.
