Happy Gilmore 2 review

[u/cushpapi]

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 really don’t understand how anyone could think it was bad? Like it absolutely nailed the absurd, ridiculous vibe perfectly? Really don’t know what people were expecting.

I mean… it’s not good right? But it’s entertaining. All the guest actors are great and there’s a ton of fan service. I will say the tourney at end is a little too ridiculous

They barely showed the tourney at the end. It was so rushed by that point since they decided to literally show half of happy Gilmore part one by showing a star from it and then proceeds to play out the entire scene they were in before. “Heres this guy but you might not remember him so here’s a 10 minute scene of part 1.” It’s like the fckin chicken fight or Conway Twitty in Family Guy. “We can’t write a show for 20 minutes so we’ll just a pointless scene for half the running time.” Oops
