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.

ABC News (Australia)

May 9

A breezy and intermittently funny comedy that sticks to the playbook of every decades-later sequel, sending its hero back to zero to lazily rehash the beats of its predecessor.

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.

It was great to see Happy Gilmore return, but I really feel like they should have left it as a stand alone after 1996.

This movie is not even close to the original, its paced bad and the decisions in it are stupid. I can't say to watch this(even for free) but if you are bored and have literally noting better to do, its not the worst thing you can watch.

I wanted this movie to be good because the original is one of my favorite movies ever made, but I was unfortunately disappointed. I actually thought the first half was really good. I liked how Happy became a multi-time champion and he became a drunk later in life and I liked his kids and I thought the fact John Daly was living in his garage was HILARIOUS! However, the second half of the movie SUCKED! They went into a bunch of science fiction BS and it was just a ridiculous endless series of celebrity cameos. Oh well.
