HAPPY GILMORE 2
2025 | DIRECTED BY KYLE KEWACHECK
Lee Trevino crooning in some unintelligible accent that he grinds his aspirin in his applesauce seemingly mid stroke about sums up Happy Gilmore 2.
Sandler looks like he’s going to have a heart attack any golf swing now — he updates his Happy Place to a low cholesterol reading and size M pants. I’m convinced Steve Buscemi is already dead and was taxidermized for the cameo. There are what feel like a dozen tributes to people who died in real life littered throughout. Father Time is winning.
But I’m glad Adam and the crew are fighting back. Even 85-year-old Verne Lundquist reprises his role sporting the most ridiculous blazer I’ve ever seen — it looks like leprechaun vomit. And let it be known that the geezers are both way funnier and better actors here than the Youth.
Happy Gilmore 2 is objectively terrible and also a joy to watch as an Adam Sandler fan reveling in the many callbacks and easter eggs.
Not much more to say, just grateful this exists at all.
