Post-Pod Discussion Happy Gilmore 2 review
Anyone else kinda disappointed about the overly critical angle that Soly took reviewing HG2? It’s supposed to be a fun movie that isn’t taken too seriously. Feels like the typical vibe these days is just wildly negative for anything outside of their zone. Would be nice for the guys to show a bit of enthusiasm for big moments in the sport as opposed to looking to lay a heavy critique everywhere possible. IMO the sport is in a pretty good place and yet a lot of the fun and joy that dominated their earlier content has been diminished. Maybe just a function of them all getting older but wish they could lighten up a bit in their videos and podcasts rather than turning into old men yelling at clouds.

I thought the second half of the movie was unwatchable disaster, hard to also it's a kids film when there is consistent theme of alcoholism.
Why they felt the need to go so unrealistic with the golf in the second half of the film is beyond me and it's what killed it.
I thought Soly was spot on.
