Danny Leigh Financial Times Aug 5
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. Go to Full Review
Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader Aug 1
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. Go to Full Review
Michael Ordoña TheWrap Jul 30
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. Go to Full Review
Luke Goodsell 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. Go to Full Review
Tim Stevens The Spool Oct 31
It is still, ultimately, a very silly exercise in nostalgia. Go to Full Review
Armond White National Review Oct 4
Sandler’s bar-mitzvah-banquet genre is the closest American movies get to the emotional amplitude of France’s Jean Renoir. Go to Full Review

Dominic H @RT32747199 15h This made me laugh, it was hilarious. The story is quite nice, the acting is good, and the humor was hilarious, but here's one bad thing, there is some potty humor... But that's okay! I thought it was hilarious! See more daleyzer P. @RT82995306 3d FUCKING AMAZING MOVIE it’s so funny i was laughing every two seconds idk how people could hate on this movies acting is pretty good too See more Scotty B @Scotty12345678910 Jun 16 If I became famous overnight, I would hire all my friends to be in my next film, even if they were unbelievably crap at acting, or they didn't know how to act in a comedy... (or at all) So, if that's something you'd also do, you will also dislike this unoriginal, boring and desperate piece of 'cinema' Filled with cheap stunt casting, generally awful casting, hilariously pathetic casting and worryingly thick casting. I myself love to live in the past, hence why I decided to watch this guff. But this film takes it to another level. What criteria's do we need to hit to not be cancelled? They've ticked every single one. So why the 1.5 star, that seems awfully generous for the worst film of the year! It's purely because I liked the timberlands he was wearing. If you're a big lover of stand up comedians, you'll hate this, because it only features the worst Stand up comedians on the market. peace and love, please don't make another film. xx See more Richard B @ricbarkley Jun 12 Really enjoyed it because of all the golf star cameos. Storyline was a bit much, but overall it was very memorable. See more Charles T. @CharlesGaming1000 Jun 9 The originals definitely better but this one was also hilarious See more Ray A. @Rayzer30 Jun 5 Tried to watch it 2 different times. Both times, I couldn't even finish it. The 1/2 star is because it was free. See more Read all reviews
