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.

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

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.

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.

National Review

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

… artificial and cartoonish.

This was a fun sequel that isn't quite family-friendly but they did a good job pushing Happy's story forward. Having said that, it's a really weird movie and a bit overlong.

It’s an Adam Sandler movie! Classic troupes and cameos. Goofy jokes and good vibes. Nothing can replicate the joy brought by the first Happy Gilmore movie. No joke, or bit, or new face. But it’s not bad. Third stars means it warrants a re-watch and a few quote-able funnies. Overall: Let’s go Bruins!!! 3/5

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The acting was abysmal. The plot wasn’t even a plot. The script was cobbled together, as in, each line of dialogue just didn’t make any sense. It seemed like it was filmed and edited by kids. The cameos were obviously where all the money went. Sucks. Happy Gilmore 2 doesn’t exist, thank god.

I love Adam Sandlers movies. Happy Gilmore, blended uncut gems, wexter, to name a few. This movie was disappointing, felt rushed to production and about making a buck. With a bit more thought it could of been so much better.

A sequel with potential, especially for fans of the original, but Happy Gilmore 2 struggles under the weight of expectation and nostalgia. What should have been a bold, fresh return ends up feeling like a reheated parody of itself. Poor effort.

Worst film of 2025. Sandler’s new “acting” style is like he’s half asleep and just doesn’t care anymore. This is the last Sandler comedy that I’ll ever watch.
