Movies Happy Gilmore 2 preview. Will you watch it?

By the way, will not be watching the sequel... obviously.

I'm sick of the 'Legacy Sequel' concept for movies from 20+ to 40+ years ago that never had a sequel... until now.
The time for a sequel is far far past and they're just relying on nostalgia.

Dumb and Dumberer 2
Beetlejuice 2
Matrix Resurrections
BladeRunner 2045
Top Gun Maverick

That said, Top Gun Maverick was worth watching in IMAX, but no one will claim the story was amazing.

This Happy Gilmore 2 is just going to be the same old cliché shit.

What's next... Waterboy2?
“Waterboy’s Boy”
 
People change. Dynamics between folks change. The synergy dissipates.
I will pass. Enough of these decades-long sequels. They never retain the magic found in the OGs. This shows no sign of reversing that.
 
These kind of comedy satire anthics are not suited for their age anymore.

Don't forget Zoolander 2, and Anchorman 2.

I think you can do it with certain franchises, like Blade Runner, that actually has an established universe you could tell a million stories with. It's tough with comedy, though. Expecting the cast to be on their game and replicate whatever lighting in a bottle they caught with the original, is a pretty big ask. The chemistry usually just isn't there anymore, even if the effort is genuine.

I can't think of a worse example than "Dumb and Dumber Too". All the original talent, including the directors, and it's like they didn't even know their own product. They wrote Harry as a literal retard, and Jeff Daniels sure as fuck played one. Harry was dumb, but not an actual retard who didn't know what sex was. That was the worst of the worst of these desperate sequels.
 
Thought was about gilmore girls lol

The guy hasn't put out a decent film in decades.
 
I vaguely remember reading a Wikipedia article about Happy Madison films, and I think most of them were really successful, even the critically panned ones?

I don't think it'll be the worst film ever. I think it'll come and go.
 
Can't fault the dude for making movies for his family and friends to be in.

..but I'm not going out of my way to watch this. Definitely not resubbing to Netflix for it... haven't been since like 2019-20.
