It feels like "Happy Gilmore's" 30th high-school reunion. But it also testifies to the timelessness of Sandler's Jerry-Lewis-meets-punk-rock rage.
However, the critics score is shocking when compared to the original film, Happy Gilmore, which registered a 63% mark (36 fresh to 21 rotten). Safe to say, that left some people stunned. "How is Rotten Tomatoes critics score for Happy Gilmore 2 higher than the original?" Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy asked.
"Happy Gilmore 2" has landed safely on the fairway and is now streaming on Netflix. With Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and more reprising their memorable roles in this sequel, Rotten Tomatoes has given the movie a critic Tomatometer rating of 64% and an audience Popcornmeter score of 73%.
Happy Gilmore 2 is the funniest movie of the year so far by default, if only because no other movies really try to go for laugh-a-minute comedy like this any longer. The new Naked Gun movie will surely challenge it, but why can't the audiences of today get their own Happy Gilmores and Frank Drebins to cherish anew?
Adam Sandler's 'Happy Gilmore 2' is officially out on Netflix, and the film has fans living for the nostalgia.
Happy Gilmore 2 is filled with celebrity cameos, but one is so subtle that many fans may have missed it. Turns out, it was the most poignant nod of all. In a scene early in the Netflix sequel, Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore character is seen at a check-in booth at a golf course.
