Watch this movie with no expectations and it'll be fulfilling enough to waste some time. This sequel is actually a very good follow-up to the first movie. It was filled with stupid humor that only Adam Sandler can devise and pull off, with a supporting cast that delivered well. For the most part, the humor didn't seem forced and awkward that often occurs with comedy sequels. Granted, there were parts where it got too zany to comprehend, but that's what you get with a Sandler movie. The story line was coherent and made it catchy enough to support Happy's quest to regain his place atop the golf world. There were many references to previous characters whose real life personalities have since died and they were carried out well enough to elicit some giggles. Do expect cameos from past Sandler movie favorites. Virginia (Julie Bowen) is still too beautiful for Happy! Sandler's real life daughters did a fantastic job with their parts and even the pro golfers acted solidly, without being stiff and artificial. It's a fun movie and provides solid entertainment for a recent Sandler production (compared to some of his more recent comedy duds).

The early seasons of this show had interesting characters and their struggles were highlighted. There was actually some sense of realism, optimism, and despair. It was easy to identify with but at the same time, criticize the Hoffmans for their lack of experience and risk-taking ethos in the face of handling challenges. It was easy to identify with a young teenager whose grandfather helped mold his ambitions. It was easy to identify with the financial trials and tribulations of all the characters. After the Hoffmans left, it became so predictable and quite sterile without a set of characters to root for while also questioning their competence and abilities to succeed. Bring Todd's crew back!
