Sixtysomething Bob Odenkirk returns as a middle-aged-man wish fulfillment fantasy antihero in “Nobody 2,” a sequel to the violent action comedy about a family man/good provider who happens to be a professional fury in a fight.

More people underestimate snowflake-whiskered, balding and wrinkled Hutch Mansell. And more people pay the price in this picture that peaks early and tumbles towards cutesy and manages to outstay its welcome despite breezing by in 89 minutes.

Workaholic hitman/collector Hutch still has too many jobs to do and too little time for his not-wholly-unsuspecting family (Connie Nielsen, with Paisley Cadorath and Gage Munroe). His “debt” with The Barber (Colin Salmon) won’t pay itself, after all.

But with out-of-his-league wife Becca almost sending that “We need to talk” text over that “other side of you,” his late nights at “the office,” getting more nicks and bruises in his savage fights-to-the-death seems like a test this marriage won’t pass.

“I’m gonna take a break.”

Stumbling into a bumper sticker for Plummerville’s vintage “Tiki Rush” theme park, that’s where he’ll drag the wife and teens to.

“You need to have happy memories to carry you through” life’s other tests, he tells them. So they roadtrip from Ohio to northern Wisconsin, “just like we did when I was a kid.” Grandpa (Christopher Lloyd) checks out of “the home” to come along.

But wouldn’t you know it, the water slide is closed and there’s bullying of hotheaded teen Brady at the arcade. When the bouncers join in the bullying, Hutch needs to get the family out and use his favorite excuse.

“I forgot my phone.”

Let the mayhem of righteous wrath begin.

But that runs him afoul of the corrupt sheriff. In a world where dad-bod Bob Odenkirk is a badass to be reckoned with, Colin Hanks can be a tough, murderous sheriff. Even if John Ortiz is the park operator who “RUNS this town.”

Because the real power is the scariest archetype of all, the murderous dragon lady (Sharon Stone) running a casino and a smuggling network from Canada through Not the Wisconsin Dells.

Hutch finds out who she is. She’s about to find out who Hutch is.

The over-the-top violence is funny in the early scenes. But it turns more and more abrupt, more over-the-top and more sadistic the longer the story unfolds. Indonesian action director Timo Tjahjanto (“Headshot”) gets the tone right much of the time. But the lurching pace suggest cuts that interrupt the flow and the “family” stuff doesn’t land gracefully.

The picture still delivers some of the fun of the original. But the “Nobody National Lampoon’s Vacation” in suburban Winnepeg (Lilac Resort becomes a down-market “South of the Border meets Old Town”) means repetitive brawls on a tour boat ride and “escalation” when Hutch is advised to “de-escalate” and — you know — not slaughter minions and torch smuggling operations and the like.

And that lurch into “cute” was coming the moment you saw this picture’s trailers and knew Christopher Lloyd was returning.
