Danny Leigh Financial Times Aug 5
3/5
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. Go to Full Review
Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader Aug 1
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. Go to Full Review
Michael Ordoña TheWrap Jul 30
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. Go to Full Review
Tim Stevens The Spool Oct 31
It is still, ultimately, a very silly exercise in nostalgia. Go to Full Review
Armond White National Review Oct 4
Sandler’s bar-mitzvah-banquet genre is the closest American movies get to the emotional amplitude of France’s Jean Renoir. Go to Full Review

Joanna B 5d I must admit I have a soft spot for Adam Sandler films. There's something comforting about them. This film surprised me as it does a good job of intertwining the first films plot into this one without alienating people who have not watched the first one. See more James P @JayP1992 5d I went back to my happy place. It was comforting and nostalgic. See more Malik abdullah M 6d I don't think we needed this sequel but it was good See more M @MarT304 Dec 5 Hilarious. Hit all the nostalgia buttons. See more Joey M Dec 2 Ruined one of the best comedies ever. My expectations weren't very high, except the weren't that low either. I'd give it a 20/100. Very disappointing. See more Jason K @Warlockofwifi Dec 1 Happy Gilmore 2 is exactly what happens when you mix nostalgia, rage issues, and golf ....again.... and somehow it works...again. Adam Sandler slips back into Happy like he never left, swinging clubs, punching people, and emotionally confusing every golfer within a five-mile radius. The jokes hit, the cameos land, and the movie reminded me that deep down I will always root for an angry man with a hockey stick pretending to be an athlete. It’s dumb, warm, chaotic comfort food… basically the cinematic equivalent of a Happy Gilmore swing: completely wrong form, somehow perfect anyway. See more Read all reviews
