“Will it measure up to the first one?”—Fans poke fun as ‘HAPPY GILMORE 2’ is set to release on Netflix on July 25

It’s happening. Happy Gilmore 2 is officially on its way, and Netflix is bringing it straight to our screens on July 25. The original, a 90s cult classic starring Adam Sandler as the hot-tempered golfer with a legendary slap shot, has remained a fan favorite for decades. Naturally, the announcement of a sequel has sparked excitement, nostalgia, and, well… a lot of sarcasm.

Because let’s be real, sequels have a history of disappointing, and when it comes to a comedy as iconic as Happy Gilmore 2, the stakes (and the golf clubs) are high. Some fans are thrilled, some are skeptical, and others are just here to watch the chaos unfold. And judging by the internet’s reaction, the sequel is already proving to be a comedy before it’s even out.

‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Announcement Sends Fans Into a Meme Frenzy

As soon as the news broke, fans took to social media to react in the only way they know how: through jokes, memes, and some brutally honest opinions. It didn’t take long for the comments section to turn into a digital golf course, where people were taking swings at the sequel before it even had a chance to tee off.

One fan summed up the collective skepticism perfectly: “Wonder if it will measure up to the first one or not.”

A fair question, considering sequels often struggle to recapture the magic of the original. Another user, embracing the inevitable chaos, wrote,

“This is gonna be awful, but I can’t wait to watch it.”

That’s the spirit: prepare for disaster, but enjoy the ride anyway.

Others were more supportive but equally unserious.

“We’ll be there,”

one fan simply stated, like a loyal caddy standing by for whatever nonsense unfolds. Then there was the brutally accurate take: “The most unserious film 😂😂.” No lies detected. Happy Gilmore 2 was never meant to be serious, and if the sequel follows the same path, at least it’ll be entertaining.

Of course, not everyone was happy about the Netflix release. One particularly passionate fan demanded,

“Put it in theatres first. What a joke.”

Because nothing says cinematic masterpiece like watching Adam Sandler fight a giant golf course mascot on the big screen.

Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is clear: people are talking about Happy Gilmore 2. Love it or hate it, Sandler and his goofy golf antics are coming back, and if the internet’s reaction is anything to go by, we’re all going to watch it anyway.

Will it be a hole-in-one? Or a double bogey of disappointment? That remains to be seen. But at the end of the day, Happy Gilmore 2 was never about perfection; it was about chaotic fun, ridiculous one-liners, and a hockey player who somehow became a golf legend. If the sequel gives us even half of that, it might just be worth the watch.

And let’s be honest, if Happy Gilmore 2 is bad, at least it’ll be the kind of bad that we can quote for years to come. See you on July 25, folks. Bring your putters and your expectations (just keep them low).
