I enjoyed this movie and was thoroughly paying attention throughout, even if it's disorienting, a lot of music playing and dreamy scenes (like the ending of a film) throughout the movie which get annoying. Also I didn't like the ending, personally not what I thought ended the story well.
Its melancholy, showing both the beauty and tragedy of life and health, jumping back and forth with beautiful colours and contrast throughout.
Not perfect execution. It's a bit too long. The old man scenes are poor and skippable. Also gets in a couple of 2006 propaganda with an alphabet couple wanting to have a child and also putting in eating meat as bad as smoking cigarettes and car pollution.
Ultimately I like the message behind the film and what its trying to say about paths in life taken and not taken. The filmpgraphy is brilliant too - although at times you feel like you're just watching scenes strung together like an old music video clips show that played when I was a kid. Finally acting is fantastic by all, especially the teenage actors and Jared Leto (Except when hes an old man, i just wanted those scenes to stop, and he doesnt act like an old man and obviously is wearing a mask).

As an Adam Sandler fan who loved his 90s output, I've watched Happy Gilmore more times than i could count and still find its bone headed humour funny. This film is a good and respectful tribute, adam Samdler definitely doesn't dial it in. The returning characters from the first film are fantastic.
Some of the celebrity cameos are good (Daly, the actual golfers, Kelce, Bad Bunny, MJF), but most are absolutely woeful, king of cringe Eminem, Post Malone (dude puts himself everywhere) Kym Whitley and some of the most vanilla podcasters out there really stink up the place. Sandlers family arent bad, they just all come across a bit weird.
I laughed throughout, even with a pretty unevessary ending and some woeful CGI. So glad I watched but It's not rewatchable, sadly unlike the first, so another netflix churn and burn film.

I found this movie from one of those 1980 retrowave channels, playing new synthwave songs over 1980s films (really recommend this style of video on youtube, strong nostalgia vibes).
This film is very 1980s, the style the film has is fantastic, the settings of Dallas and rural Americaare bith stunning in their own way and full of life. I'm extremely grateful for all the reviews here, sad for the ones who got too many downvotes, because this film is immoral which needs to be know(consequences dont exist and ofcourse the only good Father figure turns out to be a sod). There's a lot of attempts at jokes and smart lines but barely any land. It's also more crude than it should or needs to be.
The strangest thing is what was this film made for, who was it made for? It goes in unpredictable directions it doesn't seem to commit, its on the one hand both trying to be sad and funny about the wedding disaster, difficult to balance. A couple of weird dream sequences.
Travis is a fool, but as a character you understand and sympathise how he gets in the predicaments throughout the film. But he gets the chance to marry a beautiful woman who at least is committed to him, a father in law who wants to bring him in as a partner into his business (insane, nowadays you think) - Travis had it all laid out for him, but hes 20 so ofcourse he finds it scary. But they do capture the love of a new beast car for a man and how that and a beautiful woman can be Escapism Kryptonite. The Jonni character is sultry but thankfully given some depth at the end, but for both women in the story, the connection with them and Travis doesnt feel there.
Ive now finished this film, its after 1am and my ears are still ringing from the rock gig I was at, and Im not sure what to take from this film - probably worth watching just for that confused feeling I'll sleep on.
