Our take
Adam Sandler returns to the green to fund his daughter's ballet dream. Rated M for strong language, crude and sexual material, partial nudity and thematic material. Bar fights, addiction references, grief beats and very frequent profanity come with the comedy.
Uplifting themes
Family devotion and supporting a child's dream anchor the story Happy models flawed but devoted fatherhood
Story (may spoil tone)
Happy Gilmore isn't done with golf — not by a long shot. Since his retirement after his first Tour Championship win, Gilmore returns to finance his daughter's ballet classes.
