Happy Gilmore 2

All I can say is the worst-best movie I've ever watched. I loved that the whole movie was full of callbacks to the original. There was also just a lot of celebrities to point out and the cast was just full of Adam Sandler characters. The connection with Happy's children was also very wholesome and I actually really liked the ending.

40 minutes in, and this was looking very good. Similar beats to the original, with great cameos and multiple laughs. Sandler eases back into Happy like it's 1996, and familiar faces are everywhere.

But suddenly, things take a wild turn, and we are stuck in a bonkers sequel with no semblance of reality or cohesion. It is so bonkers that much of the last hour is indescribable.

Essentially Happy needs to raise money again to send his daughter to ballet school. He has to return to golf, which is being hijacked by a gingivitis addled fruit loop with grand plans to turn golf into MTV x XFL.

I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised early on, particularly with Happy's hilarious buffoon sons. Unfortunately, we are left with another Zoolander 2 style debacle. 5/10.

First and foremost hopefully people realize that Adam Sandler has nothing left to prove to anyone. His success and reputation speak for themselves and at this stage of his career he can make a movie about anything he wants and have whoever he pleases in it.

Anyway, after reading some of the negative reviews I wondered what people were really expecting? Did they see the first movie? Bizarre moments, crude humor and goofy cameos were staples of the original and were of course represented in abundance here.

As for the cameos, it's not just incredible the people that Sandler can get to be in his movies, but the things he gets those people to say and do are amazing. From a cameo perspective this is possibly his greatest achievement yet! Also I guarantee that the current generation of pro golfers in this movie all grew up watching the original Happy Gilmore. How exciting was it for them to be in this?!

Sequels are always tricky and basically never outshine the original. This movie is no exception but it is absolutely worth the watch.

Don't know why there's so many negative reviews. If you've seen an Adam Sandler movie before, you know what to expect - silly, over-the-top, and packed with cheesy humor. Happy Gilmore 2 is no different, and that's exactly what makes it so entertaining. I haven't laughed out loud at a movie in a long time, but this one had me genuinely cracking up.

My husband, a big golf fan, especially loved the cameos and appearances from real pro golfers - a fun touch for anyone into the sport.

Don't overthink it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. It's silly, it's chaotic, and it's fun.

This is a difficult movie to review. There is a nostalgia factor and the first movie was fun. I don't watch movies that are rated less than 6. That is why I chose that rating for this movie. It's not bad, it just isn't something I'll ever watch again. There were definitely moments that were funny but probably more misses than hits. The story was hard to follow and the pace was all over the place. It's worth spending an evening on if you're bored.
