This TCL 43' Roku Smart TV Feels Like Refurb Pricing, But It's Brand-New and Totally Real at Walmart
Long summer nights call for Harry Potter marathons, plus, of course, binge-watching the second season of Wednesday, and a good TV can make all the difference. We know TV upgrades usually happen toward the end of the year during Black Friday, but what if you didn't have to wait till then to score a solid deal? Right now, Walmart is offering the TCL 43-inch 4K Smart TV with Roku TV for $198 after an $80 discount. The price, especially with built-in Roku streaming, screams Black Friday, and we recommend jumping on it before Walmart decides to push it back up for good. See at Walmart For under $200, you're getting a decent size that delivers 4K Ultra HD resolution. Think HD but with four times the detail to make all multimedia content look lifelike. Color and contrast are just as realistic with the High Dynamic Range (HDR). Yellow won't bleed into orange, and pink stays pink without the neon. Darker scenes won't turn flat black, and shadows will be visible. This is also great for gamers who need to spot enemies when the sun sets because the night is dark and full of terrors. Sound gets an upgrade with built-in speakers, which are great for casual viewing. Those who want a more immersive experience can pair it easily with a soundbar. You also get access to 250+ free live TV channels, Roku Originals, as well as multiple streaming apps. No cable? No problem. The built-in digital TV tuner lets you watch free over-the-air channels in HD, too. Apple users can take advantage of AirPlay to cast content from their iPhone or iPad to the TV. Setting the whole thing up is fairly straightforward, with the menus being easy to navigate. Customize your homescreen as you like with the Roku remote that even includes direct shortcuts to popular apps like Netflix. And for when you can't be bothered to pick up the remote, the Roku mobile app comes to the rescue with features like voice search and private listening through your headphones. The TV also works with Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant for even more convenience. Ports include four HDMI inputs (one with ARC for a soundbar). You also get dual-band Wi‑Fi 5 for wireless streaming and an Ethernet port if you prefer a wired connection. In short, the TCL 43-inch 4K Roku TV checks all the boxes for a budget-friendly upgrade. At under $200, you are getting a bunch of advanced features that you would normally pay much more for. See at Walmart

‘Happy Gilmore 2' Review: Adam Sandler's Netflix Sequel Is Terrible — and Fans Will Love It
You might be tempted to rewatch Adam Sandler's hit 1996 comedy Happy Gilmore before taking in its long-belated sequel on Netflix, but there's really no need. There are so many clips from its predecessor that even those who never saw the original film will have no trouble catching up. Add to that the many original performers repeating their roles, the constant callbacks and the nonstop nostalgia, and the result is less a continuation than an exercise in fan service. If you're watching Happy Gilmore 2 at home, don't be surprised if some of the castmembers show up at your door offering autographed pictures for a fee. Yes, it's been 29 years since the first film, but considering its constant presence on cable and streaming, it's surprising that repeating screenwriters Sandler and Tim Herlihy felt the need to provide so many reminders. But then again, Sandler has always proved adept at giving his audiences what they want. Like the first film, the sequel (directed by Kyle Newacheck) proves moronic, witless and relentlessly vulgar. Which is to say, Happy Gilmore fans will love it. More from The Hollywood Reporter Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen Teaming for Live Taping of 'Happy Sad Confused' Podcast 'Superman' Actor Skyler Gisondo in Talks to Play Ben Stiller's Son in 'Meet the Parents 4' Venice Strikes Back: Alberto Barbera on His Powerhouse 2025 Festival Lineup As the story begins, Happy is all washed up, lost in an alcoholic haze after accidentally killing his beloved wife, Virginia, with an errant golf ball (Julie Bowen smartly bails from the proceedings after a few minutes, her character only briefly reappearing periodically as a ghost). He's lost his home, he's broke and he works a menial job at a supermarket, which is not going to pay for his daughter Vienna's expensive tuition at a Paris ballet academy. (She's played by Sandler's daughter Sunny, continuing his penchant for casting friends and family members in his movies.) So as former golfer John Daly, who's living in his garage, points out, there's nothing else for Happy to do but go back to playing golf. Returning to the links turns out to be humiliating, since his first time out on the course with some strangers (played by the likes of Eric André and Margaret Qualley) proves disastrous. But he eventually sobers up after attending a support group for 'alkies' led by former retirement home orderly Hal (Ben Stiller, somehow managing not to be funny). Encouraged by the other veteran golfers — the film features cameos from so many well-known players it should be shown on ESPN, not Netflix — Happy, who still suffers from anger management issues, re-enters the circuit. Except his competition this time isn't Shooter McGavin, his arch-nemesis from the first film, but rather an upstart group called Maxi Golf, a bizarre new concept featuring showbiz embellishments and golfers who've been surgically enhanced to improve their swings. (Its CEO is played by Benny Safdie, who, along with brother Josh, directed Uncut Gems, a film that demonstrated Sandler's genuine acting chops. Here, the talented actor/filmmaker is reduced to a running gag involving his character's horrifically bad breath.) Speaking of Shooter McGavin, he thankfully does reappear in the glorious form of Christopher McDonald, as if you had any doubt. Released from the mental institution in which he's been confined since the events of the previous film, Shooter winds up as Happy's ally, although not before the two of them duke it out in a cemetery filled with tombstones emblazoned with the names of now-deceased characters (including Bob Barker, whose fight with Sandler in the first film became iconic). Carl Weathers' Chubbs Peterson was also slated to return, until the actor died last year. So this film features the character's son Slim Peterson (Lavell Crawford), who, like his father, sports a prosthetic hand that has an inconvenient propensity for falling off. And so it goes, with nearly every minute of the film featuring a reference to the original in one form or another. It all feels extremely lazy and self-indulgent, especially Sandler's tendency to cast nearly everyone he's ever worked with or even met. The cameos here are so voluminous that you need a cheat sheet to keep up, although most of them barely make an impression. Sandler lazily walks through the film looking, as one character describes him, like someone who 'got divorced four seconds ago.' Thankfully, McDonald is on hand to lend the proceedings some genuine lunacy. More surprisingly, Bad Bunny turns out to be utterly endearing, and very funny, as a busboy whom Happy hires as his caddie. Although it's unlikely that anyone had the Puerto Rican superstar slathering a bare-chested Travis Kelce with honey, as he does here, on their cinematic bingo card. Other than a running gag revolving around Happy's use of every possible object as a liquor container, the film's main humor involves people being painfully hit by golf balls. By the time the movie ends and you've been assaulted by one tired gag after another, you'll know exactly how they feel.
