I\u2019m going to be perfectly honest: I have never seen the first Happy Gilmore, which you might think would affect my enjoyment of Happy Gilmore 2. But honestly\u2026I\u2019m not sure it did? Naturally, I have Travis Kelce\u2019s Happy Gilmore baseball cap<\/a> from Coachella at the top of my consciousness, but as it turns out, you don\u2019t actually need to be a jock to appreciate this movie\u2014you just have to appreciate the dulcet tones of Adam Sandler yelling. Done and done!<\/p>\n

Below, find every thought I had (literally) while watching Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix:<\/p>\n

I love when a movie starts with \u201cMy name is [title of movie].\u201dSo I\u2019m gathering this movie is about hockey?Hey, it\u2019s Julie Bowen!Whenever I see her, I can\u2019t help thinking of the 30 Rock line, \u201cInstead of losing a push-up contest to Julie Bowen to see who gets to play Kevin James\u2019s mean wife that he\u2019s sick of having sex with\u2026\u201dFour small boys? God help Happy Gilmore.Aw, first recorded Adam Sandler scream of the movie!Watching Sandler age in real time is crazy.Who the hell is Chubbs?Julie Bowen DIES?Aw, it\u2019s Adam Sandler\u2019s actual daughter Sunny, from You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah<\/a> fame!Now that was a film.Damn, I want to be really good at ballet.And to be a Jeopardy clue, for that matter.Ideally, one that people actually get right.\u201cWe fight in the basement, not at the table.\u201d LOL.Classic dead-wife dream sequence.Jesus, 300 grand for ballet school? I mean, my silly little creative writing degree was no cheaper, but that\u2019s crazy.Hey, it\u2019s Please Don\u2019t Destroy! Or one member thereof!And\u2026Margaret Qualley<\/a>?And Eric Andre?Once again, I find myself spellbound by Sandler\u2019s \u2019fit.<\/a>Or is it just his general charisma?No, I think I genuinely like this Oxford shirt-sweats-baseball cap situation.Sooooo much golf.Why was my grandfather obsessed with watching this sport on TV?Aw, Carl Weathers!Uh-oh, Shooter McGavin seems to be getting out of prison.Oh, wait, never mind on that.Hey, it\u2019s Sandler\u2019s other daughter, Sadie!BEN STILLER, BABY! We are so back.Would I do well on Hot Ones?Probably not.There are plans for a new golf league afoot, but I don\u2019t care so much about that.Aw, Happy is 30 days sober!Sooooo many ugly gold blazers. What is this, a suburban real estate firm?BAD BUNNY!<\/a>Sandler\u2019s beard color and texture are looking really good, I have to say.If being skilled at sports means you have to drink out of a funnel on the field, then I\u2019m good, luv.God, I want to explain the rules of golf to Bad Bunny (not that I know them, but still).Honestly, I just want to have a conversation with Bad Bunny. It can be about golf, or literally anything else.Oop, Shooter\u2019s back out in the world and scheming.Honestly, my first move post-prison release would also be to order a tall stack of fluffy pancakes in a fancy hotel room.Oh, no! The pancakes are courtesy of the evil golf league franchise!Aw, all these flashbacks to young Sandler are killing me.Always fun to have a major confrontation at Bob Barker\u2019s grave.I love how loyal Happy\u2019s constellation of meathead sons is.No offense, men who love this movie (or at least the original), but I\u2019m bored.If I had one complaint about adult life, it would be that I\u2019m rarely (if ever) lowered down onto a stage while wearing angel wings.Self-referential meta \u201990s joke! Everybody drink!Okay, I see how playing golf in the snow might be nice and vibe-y.Not as nice as sitting around taking pictures in the snow for Instagram, but I digress.Ooh, someone got a Pepsi product-placement deal!Why am I weirdly stressed about the outcome of this fictional golf game?Happy wins!!!I mean, likely thing to happen in a movie called Happy Gilmore 2, but still.Aw, and his daughter gets to go to billionaire ballet school in Paris!Okay, well, that\u2019s over.Never change, Sandler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019m going to be perfectly honest: I have never seen the first Happy Gilmore, which you might think…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39898,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[88,1767,29995,14066,92,32335,777],"class_list":["post-39897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-opinion","tag-splitscreenimagerightfullbleed","tag-storytypelist","tag-tv","tag-tv-movies","tag-web"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
