REVIEW SUMMARY
Happy Gilmore 2 delivers exactly what it promises: a light, nostalgic, entertaining comedy, made especially for those who grew up with Adam Sandler's most ridiculous work. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, nor does it try to hide its clichés or limitations. On the contrary, it embraces the absurd, celebrates the legacy of the original with a callback-filled script, and a cast that seems to be having just as much fun as the audience. For longtime fans, it's a comforting return to the world of one of the most lovable lunatics in cinema. For everyone else, it's just another Sandler comedy - if that's not your thing, this won't change your mind. But if you miss that shamelessly dumb humor of the '90s, this sequel is like an old friend knocking on your door with a beer hidden inside a golf club.
