Who thought this would be anything but a pile of shite

I will watch it because the original is one of the best movies ever and I love golf. With all the cameos and with sandler not putting anything good out anymore. I will just be 2 hours of passing time before we fall asleep.

I'm sure they all loved it because it was an instant classic. They had bob barker and Lee Trevino. Now they have loser influencers and Travis Kelce. People you are sick and tired of seeing and that shouldn't be on stuff like this.

that's how nostalgia works. this movie would probably be funnier if you saw it as a kid, had fond memories of it, then watched it as an adult.


lol this has zero to do with nostalgia. It's called being an instant classic movie compared to a terrible unfunny movie. It's common sense.

Of course none of this is going to be as funny anymore.


I agree that nostalgia can color one's judgment at times.

But sequels often suck, even if they are only a couple of years apart. Especially comedy sequels.

His real life daughters, both in the movie, are kinda distracting to look at. Not in a good way.

I feel asleep halfway through but will try again.

God damn this was awful. Killing off Virginia set the tone for the rest of this dumpster fire.

I stopped after the first two minutes when it goes into how he loses all his money.

Stupid concept.

Caddyshack 2 is comedy gold and this board will die on that hill.

Not sure. My coworker grabbed that for me the other day. She said they had all 4 versions though.

The first act and a little bit of the second act were really good, like it was funny and had some good callbacks and the plot was fine. But pretty much after that it devolved into a steaming pile of shite

I watched the original earlier with my 14 year old daughter so she could get the references. We watched the 2nd movie and she enjoyed it a lot. It was obviously not an award winning movie but it was enjoyable watching it with my daughter

with all due respect. If a 14 year old tik tok girl enjoyed it. 95% of the people who enjoyed Happy Gilmore 1 will hate it.

The only parts of that movie that were good were the direct fan service scenes.

If they had any balls, they would had Happy break up with his wife and spiral downwards after he and his wife had a Tiger Woods situation, and then made the movie be about his comeback.
