Critics Consensus

With Adam Sandler and company clearly having a good time, Happy Gilmore 2 thwacks hard with nostalgia when it should've putted but will still put fans of the original back in their happy place.

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.

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.

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.

It is still, ultimately, a very silly exercise in nostalgia.

Sandler’s bar-mitzvah-banquet genre is the closest American movies get to the emotional amplitude of France’s Jean Renoir.

Spends most of the movie jamming in references for people who weren't even alive for the first one.

Made me feel old Sandler should have had a new cast and different story line,or better yet a part two ALLOT sooner.

I came for references to Happy Gilmore the first, and got exactly what I asked for. I was expecting a little bit more, but not surpised with the final product. Sandler is still the goat.

This movie can only go so far with callbacks and references to the original. It’s just nostalgia bate.
