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.

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.

This isn't the worst thing Adam Sandler has done for Netflix but it's definitely the most pointless. These legacy sequels haven't really earned their existence.

Rated: 2/5

If there’s one word that defines Happy Gilmore 2, it’s “uninspired.” The screenplay limps from scene to scene, desperate for laughs but content to recycle old catchphrases and callbacks rather than invest in anything fresh or meaningful.

Happy Gilmore 2 is not perfect, but does have enough charm and Adam Sandler Fun, to overall make this film a solid sequel.

Bad movie. It was great casting with all the golfers and such, but it was just another money milker to gain revenue and not entertain.

this might have been in the top 10 of worst movies I’ve ever seen. People getting hit with golf balls can only be funny so many times! Love Adam Sandler but this is a real stretch. Not surprisingly, the professional golfers cast can’t act, and they are a big part of the movie. Just go watch the original again if you’re looking for a good laugh.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
