The recently-released comedy “Happy Gilmore 2” is a sequel to the 1996 original film “Happy Gilmore.” It stars Adam Sandler and is directed by Kyle Newacheck. The movie is based on the original film and has somewhat of the same plot. It follows a character named Happy Gilmore as he tries to make a comeback to the golf world after many years in retirement, and tries to stop the cheating Maxi League.

The movie starts with an older Happy Gilmore now dealing with the consequences of the past. The reason for Gilmore’s return to golf is to raise money for his daughter’s expensive ballet school. Without Shooter McGavin to compete against this time around, a new rival comes into play. This new rival is called the Maxi League, which plays a whole new style of golf that nobody wants. There are also many cameos included that make this film great.

“Happy Gilmore 2” had several strengths. First off, this movie is very nostalgic. There are many iconic moments and characters like Shooter McGavin and Chubbs’s son. The film also includes lots of humor with jokes from the original and new jokes from new characters. The biggest strong point of this movie is the number of cameos involved, which included professional golfers Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and John Daly. These characters also play big roles, while being on the team to stop the Maxi League from continuing. There were also many hilarious and iconic jokes said by these players that make this film all come together.

On the other hand, there are a few weak points in the film. “Happy Gilmore 2” had too many flashbacks that made the movie difficult to follow. Some people might like this. The plot of the movie was not the best either and pales in comparison to the original.

Overall, “Happy Gilmore 2” is a great sequel. People who enjoy watching the original will love the jokes and comedy scenes referring back to the original. In the end, this would be a great movie to watch with a bowl of popcorn by your side.
