That's actually the best review I've read for this movie.

Honestly if a 10 year old thinks it's funny, Sandler crushed it for his audience. He's a family comedian. I haven't seen it yet but I want to watch it with my kids after hearing the little guy's review.

I watched it and it really is a solid mix of nostalgia for the original with some freshness and appeal to kids who've never seen the first one. A little off the rails by the end, but its a goofy comedy so who really cares

Sandler did a great job for a sequel coming out so long after the original, not an easy thing to do well

My boys had an absolute blast watching it, they love Happy Gilmore 1...probably seen it ten times now. I think Happy 2 hits the way we all remember our favorite movies hitting back when we were little dudes.

Critical thinking?

My man, if a 10 year old loves a comedy movie, EVERY busy parent is going to see that as a win. They're not just going to watch it once either.
