🎬 Happy Gilmore 2 — My Review (From Someone Who Loved the First One)
They tried.
But with today’s crybaby society, it just didn’t hit the same. 😮💨
The original Happy was wild, angry, loud, and hilarious. This version? He barely gets mad until the very end — and even then, it’s soft compared to the old days.
And that sexy fantasy scene from the first one?
Forget it. In today’s world, even a bucket of beer and lingerie makes people cry. They teased it a little, but nothing like before.
The funniest part for me was when the car wouldn’t start and the kids and neighbor jumped in to help. That felt like classic Adam Sandler — awkward, chaotic, and real funny.
I also thought Benito (Bad Bunny) character was going to be funny. They did try even adding the other guy. But it wasn’t funny. They had all the flavor and made it bland. I love you BB tho! 🫶🏻
But honestly? The ending sucked.
Way too much AI, too much tech. Moving floors?, high-tech vibes — that’s not Happy Gilmore. That’s like they tried to mix golf with Black Mirror. 👎
People complained about the cameos (like Eminem), but that’s always been part of Sandler’s movies. I didn’t mind that. What I do mind is that they played it too safe.
It felt like they were trying so hard not to offend anyone, they forgot to be funny.
⸻
Final thoughts:
They wanted it to feel like the ’90s, but with safety pads and disclaimers.
Happy Gilmore was never about being “safe.” That’s why we loved him.
This movie tried to be funny in a world that forgot how to laugh.
It’s watchable, but it ain’t legendary.
Rating: 7.5/10 — mid with moments
Worth a watch if you’re a fan, but don’t expect it to feel like the OG.
I still love his movies! 🫶🏻
