Terminagolf 2

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! They were many, and they were awesome.

Also I guarantee that the current generation of pro golfers in this movie all grew up watching Happy Gilmore. How exciting was it for them to be in this? Probably a dream come true for some.

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

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.

I was actually quite looking forward to this and to be fair, it starts off pretty well. Loads of nostalgic references, a few funny slapstick moments that definitely felt familiar, and in a good way at first.

But yeah... it didn't really bring anything new to the table. Most of it relies on old jokes, random cameos, and throwing in a bunch of YouTubers. Not terrible, just kind of predictable. You can tell they weren't really trying to reinvent anything just giving fans more of what they remember.

That said, the nostalgia is still there. It was fun overall. I laughed a few times, had a decent time watching it, but it was never going to live up to the original. Still, worth a watch if you're a fan of the first one just keep your expectations in check.

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.

I just watched Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix

I love the first movie (it's my favourite Sandler movie), and I have been cautiously optimistic for this one.

And it was a massive let down. After a serious WTF moment in the first three minutes and the following ten minutes, where we see all Happy achieved in the first movie undone, there are not a lot of laughs. In fact I don't think I laughed once. I smiled a couple of times, but that was it.

Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller all return (with varying amounts of screen time) as do a host of people from the first movie, Sandler regulars and some pro golfer's

Adam Sandler's daughter, Sunny Sandler, plays Happy's daughter Vienna, his wife plays her dance teacher, his other daughter Sadie Sandler plays someone Happy meets at an A. A meeting, Haley Joel Osment and Margaret Qualley are also here

It relies a lot on nostalgia, with plenty of flashbacks and callbacks. The new Happy place made me smile, I wasn't bored and it was nice to spend time with some of the characters again and I enjoyed what they did with Shootst, but overall this was a let down. I wanted to like it, so much more.
