Adam Sandler dons his golf shoes once again in Happy Gilmore 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 1996 cult classic. This time, Happy’s unorthodox swing and foul-mouthed charm return to the fairway, bringing both nostalgia and new laughs.
A Swing Worth the Wait
Nearly three decades after the original, Sandler slips back into the role with ease. The sequel retains the anarchic spirit of the first film, blending slapstick humour with heartfelt moments. Fans will appreciate the callbacks, while newcomers will find plenty to enjoy in Happy’s chaotic journey.
Plot and Performances
The story follows Happy as he’s coaxed out of retirement for one last shot at glory. Sandler’s chemistry with returning co-stars, including Christopher McDonald as the villainous Shooter McGavin, remains electric. New additions to the cast inject fresh energy, ensuring the film doesn’t rely solely on nostalgia.
Verdict
Happy Gilmore 2 is a crowd-pleaser that balances nostalgia with new gags. While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it delivers exactly what fans want: Sandler at his most endearingly ridiculous.
