The first 30 minutes felt like this movie could be a pleasant watch. It would probably never be great considering Sandlers track record with Netflix. Netflix seems to be okay with handing out large sums of money to big names, just so they can bring pretty much anything to the table, no matter how much it reeks.

In the first 30 minutes there seemed to be a manuscript, a structure, jokes and a goal. But after that "Happy Gilmore 2" went off the rails into aimless confusion.

There were a lot of cameos from sho-horned in old characters, celebrities and internet personalities. I didn't recognize 1/10 of them and i questioned why they even were included. They did something golf related without an ounce of comedy. And then it ended.

And let's reflect over the somewhat ironic plot for a moment: In the first movie Happy have to prevent IRS from repossessing his grandmother's house. In this movie he want to send his daughter to a $300k ballet school in Paris.

The irony in this is going from a grounded sympathetic purpose to "getting the best and most expensive for my daughter!" and nobody seems to have a problem with this. Not his daughter and not his sons who's working to help support them.

And that's Happy Gilmore 2 in a nutshell; a splurge of excess money.

I suppose Sandler, his family and those involved had fun making this. But it surely wasn't fun to watch the result.

I personally wouldn't consider this movie a horror, even though the victims definitely are suffering under "Jenny Pens" horrific rule.

The movie is based on a short novel and sometimes when they make theses movie adaptations, it becomes apparent that's a fact. There's many long shots and silence to fill out the time. Not that this doesn't contribute to the story, but the lack of filling becomes obvious.

You can also question the logic in the characters behaviour. A typical thing with movies like this is all the things they can but don't do. The protagonist - an influential judge - certainly could've ended this with a phone call.

Nonetheless. Just to watch Lithgow and Rush do what they master makes it worthy a watch and this is probably Lithgow's most uncomfortable and creepy character to date.

Initially, after the first season, i gave this show a 8/10. But after four seasons there's clearly a pattern here: unfinished ideas, tech demos, promotional vehicles, etc. Not actually full-fledged stories.

It's like watching a bunch of tv pilots with cliffhangers, that never got picked up. Needles to say; that's just annoying.

It's not entertainment for the audience. It's advertisements for the involved.

There's definitely not a lack of creativity and talent out there. We can find far more of it on Youtube. So what's the idea of this show? Why is it even a show on Netflix? Is it actually impossible to find great animations WITH conclusions?
