RE: Happy Gilmore 2 (film): It's exactly what you are thinking it will be

you do not need to see part 1 to understand part 2. They recap all of that in part 2. But part 1 is even more ridiculous than part 2. It gives a better sense of how Sandler became famous though because it was kind of his first breakout role unless I am mistaken. Close to the first anyway.
