Adam Sandler returns to one of his most famous performances in Happy Gilmore 2 after over 30 years. The Netflix sequel starts off on a terrible note: Happy inadvertently murders his wife, Virginia, while practicing golf, which takes the movie into uncharted emotional territory. After that, things go crazy as Happy tries to make up for his mistakes by going back to the golf world to pay off a huge ballet school payment for his daughter.
People You Know and Crazy Surprises
Fans are excited to see old favorites like Shooter McGavin and Hal L. again, and celebrity cameos from Bad Bunny and Travis Kelce add a lot of chaos to the show. A strange dream scene with honey and a bear suit is already making waves on social media. These moments are fun, but they often feel like random pieces that have been carelessly sewn together.
Some reviewers say the humor is “undeniably funny” at times, but they don’t like the movie since it doesn’t tell a clear tale and is too long. Some others say it’s a love letter only for long-time followers, giving them what they want instead of what they need. It often lags between emotional beats and comedic anarchy for 114 minutes.
People are still talking about Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix, even though it has problems. It tries to appeal to a new generation with absurdist comedy while also tapping into the nostalgia of millennials. It’s hardly a hole-in-one, but it’s the kind of swing that might still get a lot of attention, either because it’s funny or because people want to see what Sandler has come up with this time.
