Happy Gilmore 2, has Adam Sandler’s ex-hockey-player-turned golf legend pick up the golf club again, 30 years later. It’s been almost that many years since the first movie, a sleeper hit, came out. If you remember, in the first movie, Happy took the sports world by storm winning six tour championships before retiring to enjoy life with his beloved and devoted wife Virginia (Julie Bowen) and their five children.

In this legacy sequel, Virginia dies, Happy goes broke, loses his late grandmother’s house, gets drunk, is in the bad books of the law, and finds himself in a rehab facility run by an old nemesis. So it’s just about right that he picks himself up and stages a comeback. After all, he needs to raise $300,000 to send his daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler), an aspiring dancer, to the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet School.

This film overdoses on nostalgia trips and sports cameos.
