It feels like "Happy Gilmore's" 30th high-school reunion. But it also testifies to the timelessness of Sandler's Jerry-Lewis-meets-punk-rock rage.

Ethan Anderton of SlashFilm says Happy Gilmore 2 takes a big swing but completely whiffs it by doing something unforgivable in the opening sequence from which it can never recover. The sequel is, per the critic, “a poor excuse for nostalgic comedy, and you'd have more fun getting a colonoscopy with a rake.” Anderton gives it a 2 out of 10, writing:

Jena Sims exclusive tells PEOPLE that it was 'so special' to introduce her 1-year-old son Crew to Adam Sandler while on the set of 'Happy Gilmore 2' with husband and pro golfer Brooks Koepka.

The release of "Happy Gilmore 2," the Netflix sequel to the 1996 comedy hit, is just days away. While Hollywood hot shots might be sweating audience awareness polls or gauging social media chatter, Tim Herlihy - who co-wrote both films with star Adam Sandler - has a more pressing concern: catching up with yard work

Adam Sandler returns in Happy Gilmore 2 and Jenna Ortega stars alongside Paul Rudd in the horror-comedy Death of a Unicorn — just two of the buzzy titles debuting the week of July 21.

How many hidden nods did you catch in Adam Sandler's comedy sequel? With the massive praise Happy Gilmore 2 is receiving from viewers, it will not be wrong to hope that Netflix renews it for another round.
