I watched Happy Gilmore 2 this weekend and it seems to be creating quite a controversy. Seems that people either love or hate it. Weirdly, it is actually scoring higher on Rotten Tomatoes than the original.
For me, it had zero plot, and what was there was kind of weird. But I expected that. The original really had very little plot as well. What was in the movie were 74 cameos and a lot of "Easter Eggs" (funny secondary things like pictures on the wall and stuff you normally wouldn't notice the first time you see it). There were several LOL scenes that I thought were great. They spoofed things like having a golfing threesome and getting paired with some weird person. Making fun of LIV tricking up the game. Spoiler Alert: One of my favorites was Jack Niclaus ordering a "tea and lemonade". The waitress says, "Arnold Palmer," and Jack says, "No, I am Jack Nicklaus, but I seem to get that a lot." John Daly was great, as was Scottie Scheffler.
Of course, just about every decent golfer was in the movie, along with several other celebrities.
Best: it was a movie you could see with your family. A pretty good message with no overt wokeness. Just a good time as long as you didn't expect a great plot and enjoy vignettes that make you laugh.
I also saw Formula 1 this weekend. Good movie but needs to be seen in the big theater. Also good with the family as there is almost no sex or wokeness whatsoever.
