As the Story Begins, Happy Is All Washed-Up, Lost in An Alcoholic HAZE ACCIDERALLY KILLING HIS BELOVED WIFE VIRGINIA WITH ARRANT ARRANT Golf (Julie Bowen Bowen Bowen Bowen Bowen Bowen. Minutes, Her Character Only Briefly Reapering Periodically As A Ghost). He’s Lost His Home, He’s Broke, and He Works A Menial Job at A Supermarket, WHICH IS NOT GOING TO PAY for his Daughter Vienna’s Expensive Tuadi. (She’s Played by Sandler’s Daughter Sunny, Continuing His Penchant for Casting Friends and Family Members in His Movies.)
SO as Former Golfer John Daly, Who’s Living in His Garage, Points Out, There’s Noting Else for Happy to But Go Back to Playing Golf. Returning to the Links Turns Out to be humanity, Since his first time on the Course with the one strangers (Played by the Likes of Eric Andre andre and Margaret Qualey). But he evulturally sobers up After Atendering a Support Group for “Alkies” Led By Former Retirement Home Orderly Hal (Ben Stiller, Somehow Managing Noty).
Encouroaged by the Other Veteran Golfers-The Film Features Cameos from So Many Well-Known Players It Shokld Be Shokn on Espn, Not Netflix-Happy, Who Still Suffers From. Circuit. Except his competition this time isn isn’t shooter mcgavin, his arch-nemeisis from the first FIRST FIRST FIRST FILLM, But Rather an Upstart Group Called Maxi Golf, a Bizarre New Concept, A Bizarre, A Bizarre, A Bizarre New Golf, a Bizarre New Golf. Who’ve been surgically enhanced to Improve their swings. (ITS CEO IS PLAYED by Benny Safdie, Who, Along With Brother Josh, Directoed Uncut gemsA film that demonstrated Sandler’s Genuine acting chops. Here, The Talented Actor/Filmmaker is Reduced to A Running Gag Involving His Character’s Horrifically Bad Badh.)
Speaking of Shooter mcgavin, he thankfully does reapear in the gllorious form of christopher mcdonald, as if you have any doubt. Released from the Mental Institution in a WHICH HE’S BEEN CONFINED SINCE OF THE EVENTS OF THE PREVIUS FILM, Shooter Winds Up As Happy’s Ally, Althugh Nota Before The Twostry. Emblazoned with the Names of Now-Decedessed Characters (Including Bob Barker, Whose Fight with Sandler in the First Film Became Iconic).
Carl Weathers’ Chubbs Peterson Was Also Slaged to Return, Until The Actor Died Last Year. SO this film Features the Character’s Son Slim Peterson (Lavell Crawford), Who, Like His Father, Sports A ProstHetic Handa Has The Inconvenience ProPensity for Falling Off.
And so it goes, with nearly every minute of the Film Featuring a reference to the Original in One Form or Another. It All Feels Extremely Lazy and Self-Indulgen, Especially Sandler’s Tendency to Cast Nearly Everyone He’s Ever Worked with or Even Met. The Cameos Here Are So Voluminous That You Need A Cheat Sheet To Keep Up, AlthoUugh Most of Them Barely Make An Impression.
Sandler Lazily Walks Through The Film Looking, As One Character Describes Him, Like Someone Who “Got Divorced Four Seconds Ago.” Thankfully, McDonald is on Hand to Lend the Proceedings Some Genuine Lunacy. More surprising, Bad bunny turns out to be utterly endearing, and Very Funny, As a Busboy WHOM HAPPY HIRES as His Caddie. Althugh is unlikely that Anyone Had the Puerto Rican Superstar Slatomering a Bare-Chested Travis Kelce with Honey, As He Does Here, Onir Cinematic Bingo Card.
Other than A Running Gag Revolving AROUND HAPPY’S USE OF EVERY POSSIBLE OBJECT AS A LIQUOR CONTAINER, The Film’s Main Humor Involves People Being PainFully Hit Balls. By the Time the Movie Ends and You’ve Been Assaulted by One Tired Gag After Another, You’ll Know Exactly How They Feel.
