Now I went to see this movie because of the raving reviews it was getting online and I was like, good, something for me to see and enjoy, so I saved it for this Sunday and sat down, ready to at least snicker.
Well, that did not happen. It was like I was missing something, so I asked a friend, did you see this movie?
He was like, such a nonsense film, and I agree. Adam Sandler's style of comedy is no longer funny. The movie is too long, predictable, and some of the cameos were actually for no reason at all. For example, the Eminem cameo, what was that?

Then the story, it continues from where the first one stops. So, Happy lost his wife and went into financial debt, and he is a single father of five children. He is not actually any good at raising these kids because all four boys were jackasses, it was only the girl that was normal. Anyways, he got a job working at a grocery store and he was an alcoholic. Well, the time came for the daughter, who is good in ballet, to go to a ballet school which would cost Happy over 300,000. So Happy decided to go back to golf to see how he could make this money.

Now, there is this new organization called Maxi that is trying to change the game of golf to make it more interesting. The owner approached Happy, but Happy turned him down. So Happy went back to the game, and as you can guess how these stories go, he became very good again. So good that he would represent the real golf along with some popular players like Rory McIlroy, to go against the Maxi golf players to see whose golf is the best, and to save the game of golf.

Well, you can guess the rest of the plot from there. Also, as you can expect, the new corporation is cheating, why not, how can you hate them if they play fair?

Now, the movie had a lot of the old actors from the 90s back, and I would say to me that was the best part. Seeing all these people, that nostalgia feeling, was one of the things that made it possible for me to sit through this movie. Other than that, the acting from Happy’s children was dreadful. I like that Adam Sandler is including his family in his movies, they are not that good at acting like he is, but I guess this is the only way they can get better.

So Happy Gilmore 2 is on Netflix, and it is not worth seeing, trust me.
