How Happy Gilmore 2 has been received by fans and critics
The film received middling reviews from critics, scoring 65 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, but was better received by viewers with a 72 per cent score.
Adam Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore, with Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Dennis Dugan also returning, alongside new cameos from Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, and Eminem.
The plot sees Happy return to golf to fund his daughter's attendance at a Parisian ballet school.
The film's opening scene, which kills off Julie Bowen's character Virginia Venit, has proven divisive among fans, though the director defended the decision as a key driving force for the plot.
