Un tipo imprevedibile 2

It's like that awkward family reunion where everyone keeps bringing up the glory days-except in this case, it feels like 20% of the movie is just a highlight reel of the first film! Seriously, if I had a euro for every callback, I could probably buy a round of drinks for the cast.

The family store subplot is a nice touch, and the cameos are like sprinkles on a stale cake-fun but not enough to save it. You've got familiar faces popping up like they just wandered off the set of the original, and while it's great to see them, it's hard not to think, "Wow, did they really need to dust off that old joke again?"

Unfortunately, the story feels like it was written during a nap, and some of the acting is about as convincing as a golf ball flying straight. It's like they took the charm of the first movie, threw it in a blender, and forgot to add any new ingredients. So, while "Happy Gilmore 2" has its moments of nostalgia, it's more of a trip down memory lane than a hole-in-one.

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.

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 went into this not expecting much but just to enjoy the characters. It was actually funny and brought back so many funny memories of the original. I really enjoyed the cameos, and of course, the music. It's definitely worth a watch, even if it's for the nostalgia. If you're an Adam Sandler fan, you'll enjoy it.

I love Adam Sandler movies and I really wanted to love this movie. Sadly it's just not great. Shooter, Happy, and Hal L have bright spots but most of the jokes fell flat and the pacing was all over the place. The best way to describe this movie is a recycling of all the memorable jokes from the original but with worse delivery. Unfortunately Carl Weathers passed away so the story had to be rewritten. I would've rather seen a more grounded story with less cameos. The Sandman is still the GOAT and I'll watch every movie he makes.
