Happy Gilmore 2 picks up 29 years after the original, with Happy now a wealthy family man. Tragedy strikes early when Happy accidentally kills his wife. He retires, falls into alcoholism, but is spurred to a comeback when his daughter's ballet aspirations require a hefty sum of money. His comeback is filled with DUIs, an unconventional golf tour, and plenty of run-ins with his nemesis, Shooter McGavin. The film features numerous cameos from fellow SNL alumni, Sandler's family, and current and past golf pros, creating a nostalgic and star-studded affair. While not quite reaching the heights of the original, the sequel delivers plenty of laughs and callbacks for fans, along with a surprising focus on defending the traditions of golf. However, some may find the excessive cameos, nepotism, and a somewhat convoluted plot to be distracting. Despite these flaws, Bad Bunny's performance as Happy's caddie is a standout, and the film ultimately provides a fun, if somewhat uneven, trip down memory lane for fans of the original.
