Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) ~ Movie Review

Hello Movie Lovers 👋🏻

I have just finished watching the movie Happy Gilmore 2, which is the second part, or sequel, of the Happy Gilmore movie that came out in the 90s. In this, we get to see a story set many years after the original movie, where Gilmore has several children who have grown up. However, he has given up playing golf due to an incident. Because of that same incident, his financial condition has become very bad. He is unable to educate his children properly. But his daughter wants to attend a ballet school in London, for which $300,000 is needed, forcing him to play golf out of necessity.

Story

The man who was a hero in the 90s, extremely good at his game, like Sachin Tendulkar himself, can he, after so many years when he is almost old, beat the young players or not? That’s what you have to see in this movie. And how much money he wins, what happens—that’s all you need to watch.

Speaking of the movie’s story, the story is decent. Honestly, I didn’t find any major flaws in the story. I was wondering why they even made a second part. I don’t know if it was necessary or not. And that Netflix formula of just remaking old movies creates a bit of doubt about whether these movies were really needed or not. But as I watched the movie, it sparked my interest, and by the end, I wanted our hero to win. For this reason, it doesn’t feel like the movie was made forcefully or that it wasn’t needed. So, the story is decent.

Talking about comedy, since comedy is a big factor in this movie, it’s a comedy movie. The comedy doesn’t work in most places. It works in a few spots. They definitely try to make you laugh in some places, but it doesn’t have much impact. Still, the comedy works in some parts. It might work for those watching new comedy movies for the first time. But for those who have seen a lot of comedy movies, the comedy won’t work much.

But that doesn’t mean the movie is bad. If I were to simply define this movie, it’s a feel-good movie. It feels good to watch. From the beginning to the end, you stay hooked to the movie. You enjoy watching every single thing. When our hero loses, you feel angry. When he starts winning, you feel good, and you want him to win the game by the end, which is a good thing.

You may have never played golf. I haven’t played it either, but still, we want our hero to win. And the rules of golf, which we’ve never heard of, are explained very well in this movie. So, in my opinion, this is a one-time watch feel-good movie, which has a 6.5 rating on IMDb.

Final Verdict

In this movie, I found everyone’s acting quite good, and the production budget of the movie is also very good. That’s why I would definitely suggest you watch this movie.

If you want to watch a one-time feel-good movie and don’t have anything else to watch right now, you can watch this movie.

I would rate this movie 7 out of 10.
