Happy Gilmore 2
Stream
Happy Gilmore isn't done with golf — not by a long shot. Since his retirement after his first Tour Championship win, Gilmore returns to finance his daughter's ballet classes.
What critics thought
Happy Gilmore 2 lands in mixed-review territory, with critics largely agreeing the film runs on nostalgia and a relentless stream of cameos rather than sharp comedy. The central split is between those who find Sandler's cheerful, lowbrow energy enough to carry it and those who feel the gags — particularly the repetitive golf-ball violence — grow exhausting well before the credits roll. Fans of the original are the most likely to be forgiving.
“The scatological 'humor' is as low-brow as it gets; either you find it funny or you don't. I've never been a huge fan of that ... stuff, but the physical, Three Stooges material has a certain, admittedly dumb, slapstick appeal. Still, Happy Gilmore makes par through the strength of its sheer stupid energy and the game efforts of Sandler and his 50 or so co-stars. It's good to be back in that Happy Place.”
Richard Roeper·RogerEbert.com
“Other than a running gag revolving around Happy's use of every possible object as a liquor container, the film's main humor involves people being painfully hit by golf balls. By the time the movie ends and you've been assaulted by one tired gag after another, you'll know exactly how they feel.”
Frank Scheck·The Hollywood Reporter
“Between Happy's family life and a whole new series of challenges for him to tackle, there's enough freshness to the plot to keep it from feeling like a total rehash of what came before, while still delivering wild golf stunts and a huge range of cameos.”
