Danny Leigh Financial Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader 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. Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Michael Ordoña TheWrap 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. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal Bad Bunny is the real MVP. This may set him up for the kind of career that crosses all barriers. While “Happy Gilmore 2” doesn’t please like a hole in one, it does satisfy with a few snacks and a cold drink. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) The humour is sophomoric though jovial. No shame at catching yourself chortling. Rated: 3/5 Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Blake Howard One Heat Minute Happy Gilmore 2 feels like an unnecessarily self-referential slog with only a few genuinely funny moments, leaving me grateful for endlessly revisiting the first and unlikely to revisit this follow-up.

N O INSTANT CLASSIC !!!! I honestly can’t tell if this is funnier than the first one so I gave it the same rating! I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Adam Sandler sure knows how to write a comedy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Alex F Adam Sandler seems to have had a great time making a movie that allowed him to work with everyone he likes, and that sense of love and fun shines through. Like the original "Happy Gilmore," this sequel is dumb and full of gross-out jokes, but it has a good heart and makes you laugh. In other words, it does exactly what it sets out to do. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Greg H It was entertaining to watch, but a couple of the gags went on too long and there were way too many cameo's. I mean it was on Netflix and I didn't have to buy a ticket to see it. It was entertaining, it just wasn't as good as the original and it could have been funnier. I would almost say it was too rich, it could have been a little lighter. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Mohamed A A nice sweet sequel to the original. It has just the right balance of nostalgia and new material. Good for a one time watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review r96 s ’Happy Gilmore 2’ is actually pretty good, well it’s one I enjoyed anyway. I watched the original flick growing up and liked that too, if I’m totally truthful I think I’d marginally rank this one higher comparatively; it’s a more solid ride, whereas the original is a little iffy in more moments imo. Adam Sandler is in his element as the titular character, if there was ever one that perfectly suits Sandler it is Happy - and I mean that only as a positive. Away from the leading dude, it’s a massive cast - so many good cameos, the better ones being that amateur trio and the son of Jackass. Of those who feature a bit more, Benny Safdie is fairly amusing. Christopher McDonald is solid too. It’s nice to see many returning faces from the original, even via the snippets of those no longer with us. I also like when sports comedies bring in famous people from the sport itself, those that appear here are fun. All in all, it’s sturdy entertainment. Not all that belly laugh-y, but it is all passable. A satisfactory return for Mr. Gilmore. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Jennifer A. It was okay. The first was way better.
