A Swing That Mostly Lands
I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed the new Happy Gilmore movie. Going into it, I didn't expect much, it's always tricky when a beloved classic gets a sequel years later. But this one exceeded my expectations in a lot of ways. One of the biggest shocks was the number of unexpected cameos. I didn't think we'd see that many celebrity appearances, but seeing stars like Bad Bunny, Post Malone, and even Eminem pop up added a fun and fresh energy to the film. It gave the movie a modern twist without completely straying from the original's tone.
Of course, the original Happy Gilmore is still the better movie, it's a comedy classic for a reason. But this sequel doesn't try too hard to outdo it. Instead, it builds on the legacy in a respectful and entertaining way. The acting was surprisingly solid across the board. The cast seemed to really buy into the tone of the film, balancing the goofy humor with some genuinely heartfelt moments.
The one thing that threw me off a little was the introduction of a new way of golfing. At first, it felt kind of strange and out of place, especially for fans used to the chaotic, hockey-inspired golf style from the original. But to the movie's credit, the concept actually worked. It added something new to the story and ended up fitting in with the film's overall theme of change and legacy. By the end, it didn't feel out of place at all.
Overall, while nothing will top the original, this sequel holds its own. It delivers laughs, nostalgia, and even a few surprises along the way. If you're a fan of the original or just looking for a good comedy with a modern twist, it's definitely worth watching.
