Obviously I wasn't expecting this sequel to be nearly as good as the original. I would've been happy with just a fun time, but this movie is just straight boring and not funny at all. I don't think I laughed once.

Lots of the jokes are just lame rehashes of the actual funny jokes in the original, or just corny and not funny. Awful "that's what she said" jokes in 2025? Movie relies too heavily on nostalgia and has constant cutaways to the original movie, which just made me wish I was watching the original instead.

I know plot is not as important for a comedy, but man did I not like where the story went that much at all. I didn't like it went for Extreme golf, rather just stick to normal golf. But overall, the plot is still just mostly a cheap rehash of the original, but would be fine if the movie was actually funny, but it isn't. And the main driving force of the movie is super weak. He has to get huge money to send his daughter to a ballet school in Paris, problem is the daughter is boring and has no real personality so I don't really care if Happy accomplishes his goal or not. Unlike the OG, where the Goal was to make big money to get his Grandma's house back, and I cared WAY MORE about Happy's goal cuz they show a ton of times how much a sweetheart his Grandma is and how much she grounds Happy's character. So it makes you really want Happy to win! At one point his Grandma even says, "it's okay, it's just a house, I just want you to be happy."

I struggled so hard to finish this movie, it's 2 hours, which is extremely long from a comedy, and you really feel that length since it's not funny at all. It really made me just want to rewatch the OG again for the millionth time and pretend this sequel never happened.

I think Adam Sandler just lost his comedy charm and energy. I don't blame him, he's just really old now. Click IMO was his last great comedy. Ever since, his schtick just grown more tired. This is probably Adam Sandler at his worst in a comedy movie. Even Jack and Jill while god awful, was kinda so bad it's good with some genuinely funny moments still, and Al Pacino wasn't half bad in it. I know it sounds crazy, but I would actually rather rewatch Jack and Jill than Happy Gilmore 2. Happy Gilmore 2 is just boring. It doesn't have the classic goofy vibe of his classic that you want to rewatch over and over and show your friends, ie Happy Gilmore OG of course, Billy Madison, Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, Longest Yard, which IMO are the top 5 Comedy Adam Sandler movies.

I know this may seem harsh, but he should just retire from comedy. Maybe just only do Drama now.
