I think we're taking things too serious when we're criticizing Jackie Sandler, who was in the movie for like 30 seconds.
Happy Gilmore 2
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
This was humorous but seemed like nothing but a vehicle to get as many celebrity cameos as possible in a feature length film. I don't think I will ever watch it again.
The amount of fun haters in here is absolutely crazy.
Imagine the original Happy Gilmore being portrayed by a 60 year old.
It would’ve been impossible to replicate the same dumb humor. In fact, they even made a play on it with his dream no longer being hot chicks and booze but now having medium size underwear.
It was designed just to be a good time and nostalgic and people are reacting like it had the final season of Game of Thrones expectations lol

If it’s not on par with citizen cane, it’s pre crap.
Wouldn't Zalatoris be like 45 years old now if he was 15 years old 30 years ago?
This has been the case for about his entire movie making career.
I don't know why it's a problem now, especially for a sequel to a movie from 30 years ago that was not much more than Billy Madison on a golf course.

It wasn't funny. Sorry. It's like Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin making a sequel to one of their movies from the 1960s using the same type of humor/comedy/bits/etc. from back then but trying to pull it off to a 1990s audience and expecting the same laughs.
The original Happy Gilmore was brilliant. This one was just kind of lazy and unfunny because 30 years later the same old jokes don't hit the same.
Repeating (again) but the Sandler type humor started losing that 'edge' around The Waterboy.
I never understood the love for Big Daddy in that way.
In addition to TWS, I thought Big Daddy was a good, touching movie that also still had the 90s Sandler slapstick comedy elements.
We watched this last night and I really liked it. But then again., the first one is one of my favorite movies.
If you didn't like #1, you aren't going to like #2.

I watched it last night and liked it. Not the best comedy of all time, but it was good.
I feel like people who don't like it either didn't like the first one, or have completely forgot what type of humor was in the first one, because they're basically the same. Some really funny stuff, and some really corny not that funny stuff.
Chubb's son was the lowlight for me. Added nothing. I actually thought his daughters were pretty good.

I don't have a problem with his kids being in his movies. His younger daughter especially seems pretty talented. He's done this for years with his closest buddies, why not his family now that they're of age? His real life wife was also the dance instructor if I'm not mistaken.
Chubbs son was fine. Boban Marjanovic as new Mr Larson was a bit more of a miss for me.
I think it would have been funnier to have someone like Peter Dinklage play that role. The complete flip of the character's stature would have landed better.
It was entertaining and what to expect from Sandler at this point (minus Uncut Gems).
I’ll agree with others that the whole Maxi Golf ending killed it for me. I laughed at a lot (especially John Daly and Buscemi) but the ending was just so random and out there that it missed what made the first movie so good.

I like Boban so that part was a highlight for me. But going the opposite direction also would have been funny.
It was entertaining. Not a good movie by any stretch but it was entertaining. I thought the pro golfers did as well as you could hope trying acting.
Correct. I mean when you see the scene of instructor and daughter together even if you didn't know, the family resemblance is obvious.
There was a lot of chit-chat in our house during that time and I wasn't clear who she was supposed to be and thought she was a Gilmore ex and the daughter's mom for a minute.
