Storyline

"Happy Gilmore 2" is a sports comedy following Happy Gilmore, a retired golf champ turned alcoholic supermarket worker after accidentally killing his wife, Virginia, with an errant golf ball. Living with his daughter Vienna and struggling with loss, Happy returns to golf to fund her dream of attending Paris ballet school. Facing a rival energy drink mogul’s disruptive Maxi Golf league, Happy battles to reclaim his swing and honor his family, all while navigating a chaotic comeback filled with old rivals and new allies. The film explores themes of redemption, family loyalty, and resilience through absurd humor.

Why It’s Our Vibe

Happy Gilmore 2 is a wild, nostalgic ride that swings hard with goofy charm, like a perfect drive on a sunlit fairway. Kyle Newacheck’s direction keeps it loose and irreverent, while Adam Sandler’s unhinged Happy delivers the same lovable chaos fans crave. Packed with cameos from golf legends like John Daly to stars like Bad Bunny, it’s a chaotic blend of slapstick and heart. The soundtrack’s retro vibes and absurd gags—like boozy cucumbers and golf ball mayhem—keep the energy high. Every scene pops with unpolished fun, never taking itself too seriously. It’s a vibe for anyone chasing a laugh-out-loud escape that balances crude humor with a surprising touch of soul, proving Happy’s still got game, even if it’s messy.

A few to many cameos but a fun Adam Sandler movie as usual.
