Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Movie Review [S4 E1]

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:12):
How's it going, guys.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Thanks for tuning in to another Field Talk sports movie review.
I'm here with PR fifty two. Hank is with me
for a review that's just shy of thirty years in
the making. Happy Gilmour too, Grace Star Netflix accounts earlier
in the weekend.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
We're doing this on a.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Tuesday night, so it's been out for just under a
week now, but Hank watched it, I think today or yesterday.
I watched it over the weekend, and we are ready
for this. Hank, Thanks for being here to cap off
the Adam Sandler marathon that we've had going here. I
think it is a great way to I don't want
to say end it, but you know, stamp on it
until another Adam Sandler sports movie comes out, whenever that

(00:49):
might be.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it. The only other ones
we probably do is like Uncut Gems or that basketball
movie or that.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Eight Crazy Nights. I think those would be the only ones.
But of course, I.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
At Samler movies used to be my favorite thing in
high school. Everyone used to call me Adam Sandler. I
feel like as time goes on, I look more and
more like Adam Sandler. That's why Phil continues to have
me on these reviews because I'm sure people think that
I'm Adam Sandler sometimes. But it's great to be here,

(01:29):
and yes I did. I watched this yesterday while the
kids were napping, so it was it was a good showing.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yes, that's the key to this whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I'm hoping if someone just looks at the thumbnail real quick,
they think I have Adam Sandler on for an interview
and we'll.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Get some extraviews out of it. That's totally the plan.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
But I'd say the reviews, yeah, yes, it's you know,
forty chests out there.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I'd say the reviews on this have been mixed. That
might be a little more positive space.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
And I think if you were going into it just
expecting a fun just under two hours, because Adam Sandler
is the king of the under two hour movies, that
you were gonna enjoy it. You've seen the first one
a million times, so you're gonna get a lot of
callbacks and you're just gonna have a fun time.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
I think the people that weren't happy with this, I
don't really know what they were expecting.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I don't know what they wanted.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'll be honest, I didn't watch the trailer, even though
I meant to so many times. The you know, the
kind of teaser and everything. I really had no idea
what the storyline going into this was, and I kind
of wanted it that way went into a blind but
I was excited. I went subway, I got the happy
Gilmore cup and everything.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
You know, I was ready to go. Based on the drinking.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Problem though that that he gets in the movie, There's
probably be a little something a little stronger in here
besides water.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
But we'll make do with this today. I don't know
your friend's family, whatever it might be, what has been
your in your circle. The opinion of the movie.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
My okay, my personal opinion about the movie was that
if you were going into it with the whole purpose
of the movie being a sequel with a lot of
fan service, the movie definitely succeeded at that. This isn't
like a movie that I feel like is a super

(03:19):
serious movie, which there are very very few Adam Sandler
movies that are serious that are trying to be like
drama movies, I think, but Spanglish was one of them.
There was a movie where Sandler lives in New York
City and his family died during nine to eleven, so
he's like kind of a hermit person. But most Sandler

(03:42):
movies they're not intended to have any serious value. They're
not supposed to be like these huge great works.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Of art as it is.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
They're just supposed to be films that like that you
don't have to take seriously at all, Like most Sandler
movies are just vacations for his friends.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Now, from what.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I've seen, like people have been like, this is the
this is the worst movie that I've ever seen, but
I still don't care because I didn't really expect it
to be like this huge work of artists. So someone,
if I could make one last comment about this, someone
made the statement that this movie is like that friend

(04:29):
that you had like thirty years ago in high school
and he's like super intoxicated and super drunk, but you
like still decide to hang out with him anyway and
talk about what you guys have been going through throughout
life and all the old times. That's basically what this
movie was. It wasn't like a thinker's movie. It wasn't

(04:51):
like a thriller or an action type of movie or
like a drama.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was just like Adam.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Sandler, a bunch of cameos, a bunch of people from
the last.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Movie, and make a movie out of it.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
A bunch of Adam Sandler's family members too.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, to add on to your analogy, this is like
the friend from high school that you see for the
first time in forever, and when you see him, he's
exactly the same as.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
He was when you guys hung out in high school
for the good or the bad.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Like he's like, oh, dude, you know, Jeff hasn't changed
at all. And then the more you hang out, you're like, wow,
Jeff hasn't changed at all.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Like that, you know, positive and negative.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Adam Sandlor movies always has his friends in him, always
has cameos in him.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I think he broke the record for both in this one.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I think the unofficial count of cameos is like sixty
four sixty six somewhere in there, according to you know,
the people that would count those sort of things, Some
very heartfelt, some just funny, some like how the hell
did you get that guy in this movie?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (05:51):
So there were more. There were more cameos in this
movie than there were actual original characters in the movie,
like with all the golfers and all the hip hop artists,
all the podcasters. The Verne Lundquist was in the movie again,

(06:12):
Dan Patrick, Chris Berman. It's just people who have been
in movies in the past and have actual names that
are famous for something other than acting. There were more
of those characters in the movie than there were actual
like the actual like original characters.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
And part of that is there's a handful, if not
more than a handful from the original movie that had
passed on and they get their moment in the sun,
whether it be straight up showing their gravestone, creating either
a realistic son or a fictional son or daughter to
carry that person's legacy on in the movie. They do
their best with all that you mentioned, like his daughters

(06:52):
and wife are in this This movie's gonna be really
hard to follow the script we normally do because it
is as far as like favorite character supporting character. It's
Happy Gilmore and like eight thousand supporting characters, so you
really could pick anybody from that. It's easy for me,
being a wrestling fan. Before this movie even came out,
we learned that Maxwell Jacob Friedman MJF. He's an aw wrestler.

(07:15):
He played Sadler's oldest son, the guy that was like jacked,
you know, the oldest one.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
And then they also had Carl from Shameless. If familiar
with that show.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
He was like, yeah, yeah, they I know, I recognized him.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, so he was like the second son. The other
two I didn't really recognize from anything. Maybe I'm sure
they've been in some stuff, but those two jumped out
at me. I don't want to say other ones in
Ruined Yours, but other than Happy, of course, who is
your favorite? You know, Oh my god, this either this
person or this character is in this movie.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
You know, it was good to see Hal as a
character and how his him personally has changed about the years,
because you know, before he was like this creepy guy
who ran an old folks home, but now he's a
creepy guy who uh you know, run alcoholics anonymous meetings.

(08:14):
And it was kind of cool to see how like
he kind of looked like a a relatively normal looking person,
even with the you know, cartoony, like hry voice, but
now he's like super outrageously like hippie looking with long hair,

(08:36):
and he wants he wants people to do things for him,
and that's how he claims that they're that they're gonna
continue with their sobriety. Let me let me, let me think.
I felt like another really underrated character in this movie,

(09:00):
uh was was the Caddy. The Caddy was kind of crazy,
like it isn't he played by like Bad Bunny or
something like that.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
I watched.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I watched the entire movie. Not like I know Bad
I obviously I know he's an artist. He's actually dabbled
in wrestling a little bit, so I've seen him more
in the past two years than I would have any
other time. Watched that whole movie without realizing that was
Bad Bunny.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
But yes, that is who is.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I will say this, I don't care about the singer
or anything like that.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
I felt like they took that from what's his name.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Who played the butler in Mister Deeds, You know how
like the butler and mister Deeds was like super awkward
and like, you know, like was his friend and was
nice to him, but was also super awkward. I felt
like it was kind of the same character. I I
didn't really understand him being in this movie per se,

(10:04):
but I thought he did his role to the best degree,
like kind of being a person who kind of showed
up to the movie and doesn't know anything about golf, right,
and he's like, uh, but what was what he was like?
He said something like get Mike's club and he's like,

(10:25):
you mean club Soda or something.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Like that before that. Yeah, so he's a club sandwich.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah yeah, oh no, a club sandwich of course.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
So I felt like that awkwardness was kind of was
kind of funny. I laughed at some of those jokes. Again,
I don't really understand his whole being in the movie,
like it's kind of random, but I felt like it
worked well with what was going on in the film.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, and I didn't.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I didn't make the connection with the butler from this
their deeds. But now that you say that, I totally
see where you're coming from. You know that, I remember
the you know, oh, you're underestimating the sneakiness. You know
that guy definitely a similar similar vibes. But as far
as why is he in this movie? I mean, why
is eminem in this movie? Why is you know anybody
in this movie?

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Travis Kelcey, Why is Travis Kelcey? Right?

Speaker 4 (11:18):
And kel Waiter?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, and that was a small role too.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
I thought, if you're gonna bother to get Travis Kelcey,
you'd have him to do a little bit more. Probably
I don't. We've talked about this in the first one.
Neither of us really followed golf, but in the the
top ten rankings in golf, I feel like six of
the top twenty golfers in the world were in this movie.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
So that's probably a big deal for golf.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
And there's one thing that I did notice, the one
of the few things I know about golf is Scottie
Scheffer is the number one golfer in the world, and
he has offered considered like very boring to watch. He dominates,
he doesn't have a lot of personality. His interviews are
not fun, even when he wins, like people don't watch
his celebrations. I feel like this was his attempt to

(12:06):
gain a personality, or have the perception of a personality.
The one joke I did get when the cops come
after him to arrest him, he's like, not again because
he had that mishap yeah a.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Year ago or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
He trying to get into the tournament and yeah, so
that that made me laugh.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Personally.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, I feel like it was his attempt to obtain
a personality, which maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
He was going the wrong way and he got arrested.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
And what the joke about the instance that happened was
the police officer claimed that his sixty dollars pants got
damaged or something like that. Yeah, his cop pants.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Was like, bro, I'm sure they can get you. Yeah,
they can get you. They can get you more pants. Man,
I'm sure. Let's see. That's favorite character. There's not.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
I don't know if there's a lot of quotable things
for this one, like you know, tap it in or
go to your he.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Like the old ones are there. I think there's new ones.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
The one that got me though, was and it's not
something you can quote and people are gonna get. But
the line that made me laugh the hardest was when
you know the big guy that was his boss at
the construction site that he shot the nail into, that
actor of course has passed on.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
They had his son there and he asked him, Oh,
he was good. He got the nail out and he
ended up missing.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
You know, he missed the nail after a while, so
he put it back in and he's like, oh, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
How did he pass He's like he rolled over in
his sleep.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
It was bo Boban the Basketball the Middle Eastern that
which that didn't make very much sense to me because
the guy in the movie was like an American actor
and Boben is not an American. Well, yeah, he's European born.
He's like Eastern Europeans. That didn't make any I felt

(13:52):
like he was someone who has chosen because he's like tall.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
And awkward and goofy looking.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, and goofy looking yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
And then like his mom was in it and she's
like this short, like white person.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Honestly, like, I don't think there was anything that You're right,
there wasn't anything super quotable in the movie. I guess.
I guess I can.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Remember parts where uh, you.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Know, he's talking to the the the evil guy and
he's like I have ginger, but your gum smell, your
breath smells. He's like, I have like the generative. It
runs in my family. And he's like, yo, you're discussing,
or like when they when he kept calling uh Haley

(14:49):
Joel Osmond's character by the wrong name, just to show
how forgettable of a person. He was, Yeah, I guess
we'll get to this, but I guess that was an
inside joke in the movie that the villain, the co
villain in this movie was just a super forgettable character.
But I guess, I guess we'll get to that. John

(15:11):
Daily drinking constantly in the movie was funny. Drinking hands
sanitizer like constantly, like because because the joke in the
movie is that Adam Sandler Abby Gilmour becomes an alcoholics
because he accidentally kills his wife spoiler alert, and in

(15:32):
order to cope with it, he drinks copious amounts of alcohol.
He puts it all in like different nooks and crannies
in his house. There's a cuckoo clock, and there's a
cucumber flask, and there's a golf ball flask.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
He's just constantly drinking. I feel like there were some
good quotes that eric Andre, the part where eric Andre
was in where.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
He's he's golfing with them and they're like, we like
to play a really quick game, like to play real quick,
and you know they're they're the three of them are
not really that.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Good themselves, right.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
The first guy just like tops the ball off and
like they're acting like they're really good.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Again.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I I there are not much when it comes to
quotable lines from this movie, so I would agree with that.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
The part, like you said, with Eric Andre and I
wrote it as like the Saturday Night Live crew because
that's kind of what those guys are mostly known for.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Other than Eric, he's been some other things.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
But what annoy me about that scene, Like the scene
itself was funny, but as it's starting, because happy, he's
literally he even says like he has not swung a
golf club in you know, ten years, twenty years, fifteen,
whatever it was. And his thing is, you know, the
dry his long drive. Why would you not start at
a driving range. Why didn't we see him miss from
the drive? Why did you go right into playing actual golf?

(16:53):
That confused me at first. But the yeah, the best
part about that scene is in the very beginning, and
it's been posted everyone where the actor that played his
son in Grown Ups was, you know, he passed away
at a very young age, and there was a scene
right at the beginning of that golf course there's a
TV on and it's paused, uh, you know, in a

(17:14):
moment with that character. And so that was his homage
to that actor that passed away too soon. That's that's
kind of taken the internet by storm, and that was
a very classy move by Sam where I.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Thought, yeah, I saw that, I recognized it. It was
a good It was a good fan service for a
lot of the the actors that had passed away who
played leading roles in the previous movie.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
And with the fact that Adam Sandler's really not.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Known is kind of really known as being a goofy guy,
you didn't really expect it, but I guess this is
a movie that tackles death in a series that tackles death. Obviously,
Happy Gilmour one tackled death as well, with Chubbs getting
killed and you know him going to his happy place.
And obviously there were actors the Grandma and the obviously

(18:06):
the guy who played Hubs passed away as well as
well as the guy who played the who's the guy with.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
The the the the thing in his head? What was
his name?

Speaker 1 (18:22):
I forget his name. He's passed, he passed, he passed.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
I call him Jaws because that's that was his most
notable role. But yeah, so it obviously tackles death because
spoiler alert again Happy's wife.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Uh, what was her name? Vivian?

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Right, Yeah, Veronica was Billy Madison. Vivion was this movie. Yeah,
Vicky was water boy who she was not a blonde,
which the Veronica was a blonde.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
But yeah, I don't know, I'm mixing myself up.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
At this point, I was really thrown off by the
whole Like, I don't know what irritated me more like
when he kills his wife, that's like really threw me off.
Like but like you said, the first half of Gilmore
dealt with death in a semi humorous way, so that
was a thing. But what I hated the most is
in his downfall, he loses Grandma's house again, so it
kind of just like eliminated the feel good story of

(19:26):
the first one. Granted you know spoilers. He gets it
back in a weird last minute, you know, deal with
the with the evil guy. Another take I have is,
out of all the famous people in this movie, the
main villain should have been somebody more famous, Like I
look this guy up.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
He's been in a few things.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'd never seen him before, but like, yeah, it could
have been Travis Kelsi with a weird mustache. It could
have been you know, out of all the stars in
this movie, why is the main villain somebody relatively unknown?

Speaker 1 (19:55):
That's my other bi The.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Main the two main villains were really really bad. The
the ginger Bitis guy was really really bad. The Hailey
Joel Osmond's character was really really bad as villains, not
like their characters were bad. Obviously they were bad guys,
but they were.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
As villains they weren't very good. And then the payoff
end of the movie was also freakin' horrendous because we
remember the first Happy Gilmour movie where there are so
many stakes going into.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
This this like one overtime elimination match between Happy Gilmour
and Shooter McGavin. Shooter McGavin is a great via. He
is one of the greatest villains in not only Adam
Sandler movie history, but also like movies, in comedy movies

(20:55):
in general, because the dude is conniving, right, The dude
is will willing to, you know, take pot shots. He's
willing to be sarcastic on screen. He's willing to do
whatever he can in order to be happy, including getting
the jackass guy to.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Like run him over with his car. Right, you hate
Shooter McGavin in this movie.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
If you are rooting for Happy Gilmore, you hate Shooter mcgavion.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
I didn't really get that this time. I didn't really
get that with this one.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
And the payoff in this movie was really poor because
in the first one, you're like, Okay, well he's essentially
levying his grandma's house.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
In this one, it's like, Okay, it is.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Admirable to get your daughter to, you know, go to
ballet or dancing school in Europe, which again very honorable.
But I never felt like I never thought to myself,
he's going to lose. Even with that little turnstyle putting
green that they had, I was still like, yeah, he's

(22:06):
he's still gonna win. In my in my personal opinion,
this is a take that I haven't. You know, tell
me if you think it's it's done, okay, I think
I think that in the end, I think he should
have lost.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Okay, explain why, and then I'll give you why if
I think you're gonna.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
And and and here's why I think he should have lost.
And not not to be like like jumping on the
bandwagon and being like like, uh, you know, this new
type of golf is in some way better. I thought
it would, Like I thought it would have been a

(22:45):
great ending if it was one of those things where
he lost and this seven on seven golf became like
the new great thing and happy Gilmour just happened to
be a part of it, right, Like it's and and

(23:06):
it's one of those things where like he's.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Like, oh, you know, and instead of like.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
It's like grown ups remembering grown ups when he loses,
they lose, he loses on purpose, like in this one,
he's not going to lose on purpose, but like, remember
when he loses on purpose, Guys.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah, he purposely. He doesn't purposefully lose.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
He just loses because you know, there are all yeah
and the rules are all goofy. But it's like what
if this like ventures in an era of this new
golf league and like everyone lives happy, happily ever after,
you know, because at the end of the movie, he's

(23:53):
not chasing the weird ginger vitis dude. He's he's chasing
how Ben Siller's character. So I feel like this would
have been a good way. You know, they win, and
then he's like, hey, you know, if you want to
be part of our new golf league, you can be
part of our new golf league. And he's like, you
know what, yeah, I think I'll be part of your

(24:15):
new golf league. And then you know, and he gets
for exactly. But but it's not like one of those
things where it's I felt like it was like this new,
the new, the New Golf League. I felt like the
movie portrayed them as super villainous, but they really weren't

(24:37):
super villainous if you think about it. They're just coming
up with a new idea to make golf more interesting,
more exciting. It makes like, because you know how like
l I v. Golf is that Saudi Arabian Golf League,
I feel like it was kind of supposed to kind
of be like that. But this New Golf League, it

(24:58):
is like some people will say, like baseball is boring
for certain reasons, whether you think so or not, there
are also people who think that golf is really really boring,
and how can we come up with ways in order.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
To make it more exciting?

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Right, Well, there's that and Happy Gilmour, who is the
influence of this new golf league.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
He's the star of the new Golf League.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
All right, let me jump in here, because you actually
just no pun intended teed me up very well for
a couple of takes I want to take.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Start with your thing. I see your point.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I am going to disagree because I think in grown ups,
whether losing, losing on purpose either way, that was a
good movie to lose when really they were the winners.
They had the better life. These people needed it more
than us. That was a good example that you can
lose and everything be okay. This movie you mentioned live Golf,
This movie casually dunks on live golf.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
As where it misses. The mark though, is like.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Live golf isn't doing anything super outside the box, are
super innovative. All they're doing is paying all the golfers
a lot more money whether you win or lose. And
I think they're scoring systems a bit different, so they're
not doing anything to me. The way I took this
is if the people and you started this point, the

(26:15):
people that think like baseball is boring and love the
Savannah bananas. Imagine if that guy that dresses like Curious
George made a Savannah Banana golf league. It's kinda to
me I would I would compare it to that. The
one thing you know this plenty things about this movie
to not like, and we just named a few of them.
The one thing I will say about this movie that
they got correct happy Gilmour was originally like the anti

(26:40):
hero for golf. He was kind of against what golf
stood for. And the reason he's standing with the og
you know, boring quote unquote golf guys is he says,
you know, my wife loved this game just the way
it was, so he's doing it in honor.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Of his wife. So that that part I thought was right.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
And then the take that I'd like your opinion on,
and we mentioned the villain isn't really the best villain.
They had a perfect villain in this movie that they
chose not to really use, and it was his former
caddy that he choked went on to become a golfer.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And this whole movie could have.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Been about he's who's staying in his way to get
the money to get grandma's house back, and the you
know and the ballet school and all that. I think
this is a much more grounded and like centralized movie.
If and like maybe you know, Shooter kind of you know,
has a babyface turned in this movie. He uh, you know,

(27:37):
he becomes a good guy by the end of it,
he's on Happy's team. He fills in after an injury
or you I forget what it was. But so Shooter
becomes he's a very newter version of himself. So he's
not the You could have easily made him like the
mentor for this kid that Happy in a way did wrong.
He choked him on National TV, Like that guy has

(27:59):
a legitimate crit and is happy. I think this is
a better movie if the caddie that grew up to
be a pro golfer is the one standing in Happy
his way of whatever his goal happens to be. To me,
that's a better that's a better movie.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, I'll agree with that.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
But I was not upset about Shooter not being the villain.
I did not at all. I did think that his
turn to being a good guy was kind of lame,
whereas he kind of just gets in a fight with
Happy Gilmore and they beat each other up in a cemetery.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
I didn't think that that was that good.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Maybe they could have done something along the lines of, oh,
I'm I'm rehabilitated, instead of just being like a crazy
person who twitches every time you mentioned Happy Gilmore. Yeah,
but I didn't mind him being I didn't mind him
being happy Gilmore's friend. That that didn't bother me.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
I mean people over the over the thirty years, just
about that shooter you said, like one of the best,
like movie villains for a comedy maybe ever people like
the character now. So the fact that you get to
cheer for him in this one is a good thing.
I think it would have been again if if you
still wanted to make him wild and crazy, he could
have been the guy for the for the other golfer.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
But he kind of pulls the same thing.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Like they try to get him on this live tour,
the Maxi League whatever they call it, and he says
the same thing.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
He's like, man, I'm a golfer, Like.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
What you're doing here is yeah, spits in the face
of everything I've ever worked towards. So even as this
conceited guy, he's still like, no, I'm not going to
join you. So like they have a lot more in
common than they have for different reasons, but they respect
the sport that brought them both so much that you
know that that part I do agree with.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
His turn to being good kind of reminded me of
Doctor Robotnik's turn to being good in uh in Sonic three,
where he's about to blow up and he's like.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
If I can't just if I can't rule the earth,
then I'm gonna say that.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
And then he then he dies because Jim Carrey doesn't
want to be in Sonic for right.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
You know, I would compare it to That's a that's
a great comparison to an all time great film, Sonic three.
There is a version of there's a Joker storyline in
an old Batman comic where he like goes back in time.
He ends up fighting Hitler because Hitler like he's trying
to recruit him to help him with stuff, and he
punched him in the face and he's like, I might

(30:30):
be crazy, but I'm still.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
American, or something to that effect. To me, it's pretty
similar to that.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, I gotta I gotta send it up one of
these Days's pretty funny, Okay, But yeah, So, like I said, this,
this movie is a lot harder to follow the script
we normally do for movies, so we're kind of just
jumping around here. I think I finally have you beat
on the memorabilia question. I think I found the most
ridiculous thing in this movie. But I'm gonna let you

(30:57):
go first see if you can tap me here it
is if you're new to the show, the question is
the question is what is something from this movie a
prop that you could physically take home with you? Whatuld
you want from this movie? And Hank always finds the
most ridiculous things. Let's recap for a minute, and water Boy,
you did the.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
The gross water bucket of water. I'm trying to remember
what else? What else did we do?

Speaker 3 (31:23):
We did Longest Yard?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Right, it was the toothpick the toothpick? Yep, that was
longest Yard? And then what else did we do? We've
done three?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Right, this is four. This is the fourth one.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
What other movie did we do? Was it? Was it?
I mean, what other sports movie did you do?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Happy Gilmore?

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Water Boy, Longest Yard?

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Would you would you pick for the first? Happy Gilmore?

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Okay, we'll have to go back.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
But in general, Hank Rick's the most ridiculous things, and
I think I got to beat this time.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
We'll see what his answer is.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
It was it was the cucumber flask.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I went with the golf ball flask because like that,
it's a stupid amount of liquid too, Like that's not
even worth your time.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
So I think by a hair I got.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
You beaten this one because he shoots, he puts the
ball and it misses by like an inch, and then
he drinks it. I'm like, happy, it's full of liquid.
That's why I missed. You're not bad at putting, you
just you. You basically cheated yourself. It's like using a
loaded dice at that point, So I think I got you.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
He's at work in the supermarket and he's like putting.
He's in front of his was he in front of
his boss?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
No, that's when the Mexic guy walks up to him.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
He like like pulled it over and starts drinking it.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
It was either that or the hand sanitizer, yeah, or
the or the cuckoo clock or the booze. But I'm
gonna pick you do have me beat, But I'm gonna
pick the cucumber.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Flask because they're all ridiculous. But that's the most ridiculous
because it's also the least practical because he played around
with it like that, you screwed yourself.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Congratulations, happy you played yourself. That's you know.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
He's like he's like, I wonder if there's like an outdate,
like an outtake scene where he accidentally like puts that
one on the shelf and then later he goes to
like and it's a regular cucumber and he's like, oh,
and then like whatever, that that'd be ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
It was.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
It was kind of like if you've ever seen Back
to the Future. For one of the scenes where he's
drinking liquor in his car parked with his mom and
she's about to make out with him, they actually put
real alcohol in the in the alcohol bottle and he
spits it out all over the.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Oh is that a that's a real reaction.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
The steering wheel during the an out.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Take interesting, so they're like playing with him.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Another thing I would change. Its just hit me now.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
John Daly's in the movie, I say, put him on
the team. I say, like when the guy gets d qed,
you know, and they have to fill it. Like, it
was cool that shooter was in there, but he didn't
have to be. You could have had John Daly walk
up with his hand sanitizer bottle wearing pajama pants and
drain that. But that would have been pretty cool to
see him do more than just sit in the garage.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
I just unlike unlike a different movie. If you've ever
seen the.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Movie Dodgeball, Yeah, where he's going up against the good
the average Joe's are going up against the what were
they called the Cobras the Purple Cobras. Yep, okay, because
for some reason I kept calling them the Purple Vipers.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Those the villainous team.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
We actually know who they are, right, they introduced those characters.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
I mean they Michelle, they entered him at the.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Beginning of the movie. But like Laser and Blazer, they
introduce those characters, like when they're starting the tournament. Yeah,
with this movie, I'm like, who are some of these people?

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Like I recognize Reggie Bush, But I'm like, why should
we dislike these people?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (35:20):
You know why what why should we root against them?
Because they just they just want their golf league to work,
you know, they they they want to be the number
one golf league in the whole world.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
So like, why should I root against them?

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Like I understand they're like the antithesis of golf and
what happy Gilmour stands for. But why should I dislike them?
Other than the fact that they look like they look
like their their characters that you could find in an
SSX trick game and they look like they look like

(36:04):
futuristic hooligans. Why should why should I dislike them for
any other reason?

Speaker 2 (36:10):
But that so my only answer for that is one
I did not realize that was Reggie Bush until after
I've seen the movie, because they really don't spend a
lot of time with these people. The female on the
team is WWE superstar Becky Lynch, and she is crazy
popular in the world and she gets like no screen time,
like she should have thrown a few barbs at people,

(36:30):
and you know, she's.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Insanely popular around the world.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Person that she's like barely I did not realize that
was her because she gets like three three shots where
she's the only one on treen. So that's that's another deal.
The only hy root against them, the only real thing.
And this is really my last major take before we
kind of get towards the end. Here, uh they and
they gloss over way too quickly. They needed to go

(36:54):
way more into this is my take.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Here.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Happy has the ability to drive the ball along because
he has that crazy run up. They simulate that by
like cutting a nerve and something in their back, and
that's why they're able to crazy, rotate and hit. So
I guess you're supposed to root against them because they're
they're cheating, they've you know, illegally altered their bodies. That
should have been more of a storyline, like one, you know,

(37:19):
more about how you could able to do that. Obviously
Happy can do that naturally. What is special about Happy
that he's able to drive the ball? Since they're going
to get into the science of it with these other people,
But I think that's the reason you're supposed to.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
Maybe maybe maybe they could have done something along the
lines of, like they.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Like hurt somebody who Happy Gilmore cares about, or like
one of them is like dating his daughter and like
she thinks that they're great, but he knows that they're evil,
you know. Like again, like the movie is great in
terms of fan service, and if that's all you care about,

(38:03):
then it does its job.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
But the ending doesn't.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Really have that much of a payoff, and there isn't
that much of a threat in the movie that makes
you think, you.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Know, he might not win.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
You know, he's gonna win in the end because he's
Happy Gilmore. He can you know, make crazy shots if
he wants to, because he learned in the last movie
that all you have to do is go to your
happy place and you know, shoot the ball off of
this and that I.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Did like the I did like the old man happy place,
where it's you know, it's not you know, boobs and
beer anymore, it's you know, waking up without heartburn and
being able to wear medium sized shorts. Like as someone
who's now thirty three, I'm closer and closer to those
being my goals. So I wish I thought that was
that was funny. You get the Rob Schneider replaces the

(38:58):
little person on the tricycle because he's short, because he's short.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
And you know, we get it, we get it. You
can do it in there. Overall, man, I had fun.
I didn't expect much more than what I got.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Like I said, I think it's a better movie if
it's a little more grounded in reality and you have
the guy the caddy he choked that's on the tour,
mentored by Shooter McGavin.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
I think it's a cleaner, easier storyline.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
How oh this mother one little nippick at the end,
his big accomplishment is his three month sobriety chip. I
would never undermine someone getting a three month sobriety chip,
But why do we make it six months? Why don't
we make it a year? Why not make it a
little right here, I would have made it a year chip, potentially.
I think that'd be my only other qualm, like three months.

(39:44):
Like again, if someone in your life just got a
three months sobriety chip, celebrate that person.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
But for a movie, make make it the year chip
or something, you know.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Yeah, because because like yeah, one day for some people
is a huge milestone. But sure, I've I felt like for
Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
It was like.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Rank out of everything that he could find and made
everything into a flask. So now that he's sober, then
you know it's more of a success story for him
if it's a year.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I still just the idea of John Daly uh renting
out his garage for some reason, I don't we don't
know why.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
We never has never explained.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
But I did find that I didn't find that funny
because he says, I'm gona be out of here soon, Happy,
I just put a down payment on a tent.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
So clearly John Daly's.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
John Daly doesn't care where he lives.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
No.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
I also kind of had a problem with all of
Happy Gilmore's kids, Like I didn't really see a purpose
for him having four sons who acted super obscenely and
like went to work and pretended to do make obscene
gestures at work and like beat people up.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
I didn't really see much of a purpose for them.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Like obviously, his daughter, who is his actual daughter not
only in the movie but also in real life, she
had an actual purpose, so it would have been good
for the.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Movie to be more occupied.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
With her struggles instead of his four boys, who really
outside of feed up Jackass's son and who's eminem who
they throw them into an alligator infested a swamp. Other

(41:34):
than that, they really don't have that much of a
purpose in the movie. And if I can say one part,
one aspect of the movie that was annoying, it was that.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Is that that part had no payoff for me.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
So when you dig way too much into it, I
think they're like the fact that they're doing the obscene
gesture is Happy did all the same thing at all
those jobs. So I get that they're quick to beat
because that's the way Happy was. But practically they exist
because they do have four jobs, and they're essentially the
people keeping the house they do have because happy doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
He just sits on it.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
He eventually got the grocery store job. But I think
for a while they were, you know, the ones all
pitching it. That's why they all lived under the one
roof so they could actually afford to do it. But yes,
his other daughter is the one in AA at the
very end of the movie. That's his two daughters, you know,
make an appearance. I had one more thing I was
gonna say, I don't remember, but.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
You know, overall, I don't. I don't.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
We don't know Alwa's rate the movies, but I don't know.
I'll give it a seven. I think it's a solid seven.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
I had fun watching it.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
I don't know that I'm gonna go back to rewatch
it anytime soon. I don't know that it's super rewatchable.
But for the one time watched through it, is it
worth a thirty year wait? No, of course, But like
I don't think we're getting a third one.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Definitely not.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Uh let's I don't know if you have any before
I ask you the final question, I guess you have
any last minute, any anything else last minute.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
I've been kind of part of the movie a little
bit in terms, because that's just the I'm kind of
like a critic, and that's kind of how I am. Again,
like I thought it was a decent movie. And again,
like if you're looking for a film that is a
sequel that has fan service, then it's a it's it's

(43:25):
a good watch, like if you're interested in celebrities, if
if you if you like to see some of these
random people from from the previous movie and now new,
original and unriginal characters in this movie. That was that's
great and I can definitely see like a niche in
that as well. I did think that it was kind

(43:49):
of cool that they got all those golfers together, like
that is one thing that you know, might not have
meant anything to anybody, but like I did kind of
know who those guys were, and kind of.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
Like the the chit chat that they had, Like.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
The old golfers were like, yeah, you know, like there
are things that I can't do anymore because I'm old
as dirt, and then like the younger golfers are like
playing tricks on each other and doing like that's what
she said jokes. That was kind of comical.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
I would say, I think if you're into golf, you
really enjoy the guys on the team, the Scottie Shufflers,
the d. D. Chambeau's, the guys like that. And then
you know the older ones, like you said, they're there.
There's there's probably.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Like an Arnold Palmer reference in there somewhere that I
didn't get. You I'm not a golfan. I agree.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
It was very cool to see, Like I haven't seen
something quite like that since probably the original Space Jam
when all the you know, the all the players get
their powers. Yeah, their talent taken from the aliens. And
then there's like a b plot of them just trying
to live their life without basketball talent. Like it wasn't
quite that, but you know, there is a whole be

(45:01):
like I do. Like when Scotty gets arrested and they're
watching it on the cell and the TV and the
TV and the jail cell, and he like takes over
the jail cell, like he won't let the big guy
change the TV. And then by next time they cut back,
they're all watch He's kind of like became big man
on campus.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Somehow.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I thought that was funny. I don't think these golfers
are quitting a day job to become actors anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
But for the role they took in this, I thought
they did great.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Yeah, agrees, So.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Final question, again, this was fun.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
They're not not quite the thirty year in the making
payoff that we when we started this Sandler aissance, we
knew it was gonna end with this. So then I'm
pretty sure the next movie I review with Hank won't
have Adam Sandlor. And it could be wrong, but I'm
pretty sure this is where this streak ends for now.
There's still plenty of movies left on that Netflix Adam
Sadlor deal. If you had to get a sequel of

(45:52):
another Adam Sandlor.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Movie, what would you want it to be?

Speaker 2 (46:07):
I I when we talked about this, when we reviewed it,
I'd wanted to be Waterboy. I obviously obviously he wouldn't
play because he's because especially can't play college football because
he's going to be fifty two or whatever something with
coaching some and I don't know, maybe use some of
these kids to be his sons in the in the
next you know, as a maybe Mjf's character is is

(46:31):
you know, playing at Southeast Louisiana.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
State or whatever it was called. That's the only one.
I think there's meat on the bone because like, what
do you do?

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Like yeah, like but Billy Madison was gonna go back
to school again, Like I don't, I don't know how
you would do it.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
I mean you could, you could. I mean in this one,
like we didn't.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
We couldn't really recollect how awful.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Uh, his career was going to get spoiled or his
career was going to get spoiled.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
We didn't know that his wife was going to get killed.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
But I will say it was I thought was not.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
A horrible idea for this movie for the wife to
get killed off.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
But I mean, like maybe it could be him like
navigating his career or maybe navigating retired, you know, because
he set up he's going to become a teacher. Well
like what if he like busts out being a teacher
and now he has to or maybe he has to
go to college.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Now okay you know yeah, And then with with Kathy Gilmore,
he could like maybe mom, you know, when Mama finally dies,
he's navigating that life. And then they need an assistant
coach at the at back at the school and he
becomes the linebacker coach and then somebody, you know, somebody
is kind of the star, you know, really raw talent

(47:55):
but not focused or something like that.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
He could he could do something.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Kind of like kind of like kind of like Rocky
wasn't Rocky six called Rocky Balboa or something like that.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Yeah, yeah, kind.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Of like that movie where Rocky doesn't win in the end,
they kind of tie.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
It's kind of like kind of mentoring.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
This guy while at the same time fighting.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yeah, and then there's also like people hate this one,
but like Rocky five where he straight up mentors Tommy
Gunn but then he eventually like turns heel on him.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
Basically. Yeah, but yeah, overall a good time. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I said I might watch it one more time in
the near future, but I don't see myself touching it
again after that for a while. But you know, I
think we got it was the talk of the weekend.
I talked to several people about it earlier this week
about just like, hey, do you watch it?

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Yeah, what'd you think? Da Dad?

Speaker 2 (48:45):
It's definitely there's not a lot of movies that people like, oh,
this is out, I need to go watch it. It helps
that it's on Netflix. I don't know would have done
great in a box office. That's why you make a
movie like this on Netflix. So you know, it was
just one of those small like it took over a weekend.
People will trickle in and watching it now. I'm sure
the numbers are great on it. I'm sure I'm sure
Netflix is getting everything they need out of it.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah. I it's to me, it was a film that
you watched once and then that's.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
That's it pretty much.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
That's that's how I felt.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
It.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
It has a lot of parts that.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Are funny, It has a lot of parts that you know,
kind of make you think. But I feel like it's
one of those things that you're just gonna watch once
and you can go watch Happy Gilmour again the first
one because it's such a good movie.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Yeah, Happy Gilmore one to a generation is definitely a
comfort movie. I don't see this becoming a comfort movie
to anybody, you know. I don't think it's gonna have
that same magic at all. But I think that's gonna
do it for us guys. I want to thank Hank
again for jumping on here. Uh to finish off this
this four run stretch of Adamsonaylor Movies. This is kicked

(50:01):
off season four of the movie reviews. I'm not sure
what's coming next. I was zeroed in on this for
a while. Football season's right around the corner. I'm sure
i'll have Hankoff for that. Nick's already making some appearances,
and of course I'll have more PWR wrestlers interviews in
the coming months. We have a lot of cool things
going on there with wrestling. So I want to thank
you guys for checking this out, thanks for clicking on.
I hope you enjoyed the movie. Let me know what

(50:23):
you thought in.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
The comments, and thanks for listening and watching, and we'll
see you next time.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
Cheers,
