Happy Gilmore 2. I absolutely adore the first one, and I thought “Well, the second one can’t be bad. it’s such a great first movie!” Ugh. I was wrong. So very wrong.
I thought it was a really good sequel with a nice twist and redemption arc. Considering the first one was almost 30 years ago, it was a test to see if they could capture the humor of the time while updating it.
Now, the most recent Bill and Ted? That did NOT work, and I turned it off after 30 minutes despite wanting so incredibly badly to want to like it.
The excessive flashbacks were what got to me. If any movie could expect that fans would’ve watched the first movie 50+ times and be able to quote most of it, I think Happy Gilmore would be on that list.

Worst. Movie. Ever.
