🏌️♂️ Old Passion. New Shots. Even Wilder Swings.
⭐ Rating: 7.3/10 – Comedy returns to the green in full (crazy) force!
Nearly three decades after teeing off in one of the most iconic sports comedies of all time, Adam Sandler is back as the hilariously hot-headed golf legend Happy Gilmore — older, maybe wiser, but still dangerously unpredictable with a golf club in hand.
In Happy Gilmore 2, Happy has retired from the limelight and settled into a quieter life… or so he thinks. But when a flashy new golf influencer insults his legacy and challenges him to a viral rematch, Happy is pulled back onto the green. Only now, the fairway feels more like a war zone — filled with arrogant young prodigies, drone cameras buzzing overhead, and fans chasing clout more than autographs.
What follows is a chaotic, heartfelt, and outrageously funny ride as Happy struggles to navigate modern fame, online madness, and his own aging body. From exploding golf carts to absurd trick shots, from awkward sponsor deals to emotional locker room confessions — this is a comeback story full of laughs and, surprisingly, a bit of heart.
Adam Sandler delivers vintage energy with a more grounded, emotional edge, balancing slapstick insanity with moments of genuine self-reflection. His chemistry with returning characters (and a few new surprises) brings both hilarious tension and nostalgic warmth.
What makes it work:
-
Physical comedy still reigns supreme — with a golf club always just one tantrum away from destruction.
-
The story hits home with themes of aging, relevance, and what it means to stay true to yourself when the world changes around you.
-
The direction smartly updates the comedy for modern audiences while paying tribute to the original’s ridiculous charm.
📝 “You don’t retire from being Happy Gilmore… You just swing slower and hit harder.”
With viral golf challenges, laugh-out-loud training montages, and one final high-stakes tournament that feels like Caddyshack meets Rocky, Happy Gilmore 2 proves that comedy – like golf – is all about timing, impact, and a bit of lucky chaos.
