51 year old dad of 3 sons and avid PGA fan checking in. I thought the movie was great! I literally was laughing out loud multiple times. Look, this movie isn't a work of art, it's a dumb, immature throwback to a 30 year old classic dumb, immature masterpiece. Sandler was great, and I like that he is using his real family where he can. That's pretty cool.
So many great cameos and throwbacks, too many to list. Best part for me was watching with my 13 year old who enjoyed it as much as I did. He's at the age where he doesn't want to hang with dad much anymore. So, I'll take a 2 hour window where we are laughing and having fun together!

Agreed. I really hope this doesn't suck.
On that topic, how many original Netflix movies have actually been good? I swear every movie they make just feels like Netflix slop.
What's the deal with having to kill off Happy's wife in the first few minutes?

I thought it was almost equal parts funny and unfunny.
The whole movie is dumb, just like the first, but a lot of it doesn't land here imo.
The running breadsticks bit was probably the funniest thing in the movie for me.
Was concerned when Virginia died in the opening 5 minutes and still don't love that decision, but I guess they needed that for this story.
Probably won't ever watch it again, which is a bummer since the first one is one of my favorite comedies of all time.

I watched this on the plane today, and I really liked it. Obviously, it's not as good as the original, but for a Netflix movie, I thought it was pretty solid. I thought casting John Daly was inspired. I didn't expect Shooter and Happy to friends. That ended up being a good little twist.
On a side note, Adam Sandler has to have the best life. He gets paid millions to goof off with his friends and family. What a life.

It was alright. A few laughs. It's definitely better than any of the other streaming money grab nostalgia flicks over the past few years. Coming 2 was terrible. I haven't seen Axel Foley yet. Maybe this will lead to a Waterboy 2 sequel.
A true great man. Great dad. Great actor. Great athlete. So much fun to be around always. Smart as hell. Loyal as hell. Funny as hell. Loved his sons more than anything. What a guy!! Everyone loved him. My wife and I had the best times with him every time we saw him. Love to… pic.twitter.com/Gi2lPWFTgt

Happy Gilmore 2 is like seeing that best friend from High School you haven’t seen in 30 years. You reminisce, you laugh, you talk about the good ole days and you laugh some more. Nothing can top those glory days but it’s great to see that friend again.

People forget the second fight between Gilmore and Barker was just as good as the first pic.twitter.com/yYwUX3EnLw

Axel F was actually pretty good.
