Critics Consensus

With Adam Sandler and company clearly having a good time, Happy Gilmore 2 thwacks hard with nostalgia when it should've putted but will still put fans of the original back in their happy place.

3/5

The sense of if-it-ain’t-broke-don’t-fix-it suits a movie with no great aim but to call back to the original. A modern critic might point out the irony of yesterday’s outsider becoming today’s guardian of old-school wisdom.

We get some light chuckles and one-off jokes, but the story, with bones to be genuinely gripping, flatlines thanks to an onslaught of half-assed gags and cameos.

There are laughs to be had, here and there; the good news is, the sequel isn’t terrible. It’s just not anything special, nothing with the spark of the original.

It is still, ultimately, a very silly exercise in nostalgia.

Sandler’s bar-mitzvah-banquet genre is the closest American movies get to the emotional amplitude of France’s Jean Renoir.

Part of me wanted to know what happened to ol' Happy Gilmore. But after watching his return nearly 30 years later, I kind of wish he had just gone straight into Witness Protection. It's barely half as good as the original.

It isn’t a great sequel mainly down to some jokes not landing and the way too long runtime but for legacy comedy sequels and especially Happy Madison films it is way better than it should be thanks to it thrown at the wall and sees what stick of random cameos and OTT slapstick

The artists at Happy Madison return with another delectable bounty. A richly deep film that deals with the harshness of loss and the glory of redemption. As you can expect from world renowned actor, Adam Sandler - the acting is top notch, the script is ever flawless, the camerawork Is elite, and the plot is revolutionary. Wear extra strong britches when watching this film, folks - because the golf balls don't stop flying! 9/10 (I pray for a Paul Blart: Mall cop 3)

Nostalgia carried this movie. Plot was pretty rough. The cameos and blast from the past gives it a 3 star rating.
