Happy Gilmore 2

Happy Gilmore 2; Light on laughs, relying on nostalgic moments & golfer cameos to elicit a reaction. It seems designed to provide the Sandler family w/acting experience (they’re actually not bad) and give his pals some funny moments. The return of Shooter is wildly over the top, as it should be; C-

Trolls Band Together

Trolls Band Together; The film no one asked for returns w/blender of pop tunes only mildly pleasing in the first place, hoping for a hit of nostalgic dopamine before realizing the songs are only tolerable in bite size form. Animation cuts corners to keep cash grab profitable; D

The Mitchells vs. the Machines

The Mitchells vs. The Machines; A fun time diversion w/enough antics to while away an hour or two. Not as inspired, funny, riveting or imaginative as previous fare from the creatives behind the project, but it’s got enough quality for families to share some time together; B-
