Frozen Stupid 2: Open Water (2020)

The ice is now long gone. Tony Norgard's submerged vehicle is finally getting pulled out of the beautifully warm blue water of Houghton Lake. His joyous moment however, is shattered when he is handed a big DNR fine for leaving it in the water so long. He has two weeks to pay. Tony now needs to find some cash fast and it would be even better if his wife Lila didn't necessarily hear about it. Especially since he secretly hocked her great grandmothers heirloom painting to pay the tow truck guy. Then the perfect thing happens, he hears about a fishing tournament in town with a juicy cash prize that very weekend. His financial problems, at least for now, could be over. He confidently enters. As with Tony's normal luck, it turns out Saturday is also the same day as his wedding anniversary. No problem. He figures that he can wrap up the tournament and get cleaned up and off to dinner with his wife with plenty of time to spare. So he and buddies resurrect his dad's old 1960's boat rigged with an ancient beat up Scott-Atwater outboard, CB radio, fish finder and other vintage equipment of the day. They do their best cleaning it up for the big event. They have high hopes. Not surprising, the other powerful and modern boats in the competition outflank them on every level. The contest might be tougher than they expected. But Tony and friends use their keen intuition, sharp mechanical skills and knowledge of the lake as their best resource. Yes, that's sarcasm. As in the original film Frozen Stupid, Tony stays ever buoyant, against all odds, postponing trouble, being a friend, and trying to make the best of what life throws at him.
