Aaron's Thoughts
Not sure that I’ve ever seen a sequel include so much footage from the original movie. They really went out of their way to make sure everyone recognized each minor callback, which got old pretty quick.
Also why was the first act was so melodramatic? And why was the third act so zany? I really dug the second act though. Felt the most like the original film. Wish more of the film had that tone.
All that said, casting Will Zalatoris as Gilmore’s grown up caddy from the first film is legendary stuff. Especially after golf Twitter has joked for years about how much Zalatoris looks like the kid from the original film. Plus, I’m always a sucker for a good Scottie Scheffler prison joke or a Rickie Fowler cameo.
Honestly, this could have been much much worse & I’m really glad it’s not. I’m going to forget about it the second I finish typing this, but it was an entertaining two hours.
