Again, Hollywood has ZERO ideas and their executives are dumb as fuck.

Bet I can guess the script. Sandler has been trying to get his kids into the business just look at Leo he had his whole damn family as cast.

So Happy Gilmore 2 will be Adam/Happy as the old wise man teaching his daughter that is really good at Hockey to play golf like he does but she doesn't want to because golf is lame. But during a heartfelt moment she realizes golf is actually cool and she goes on to kick Drew Carey's ass in a tournament. Where she will use the updated catchphrase "The Price is Wrong Drew!"

I love it. Alternately, open the film with Happy and his daughter living a very white collar golf existence. She's extremely well-heeled, but eventually realizes her golf swing works on the ice even better. Enter a hybrid of Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, and The Mighty Ducks. "The ice is wrong, bitch" while punching Drew Carey.

She realizes she's a natural ice skater, too, because a dreamy boy teaches her. Sandler, who is pissed at the boy's attitude and unadmittedly jealous, doubles down his efforts to learn to skate from his own elderly mentor (whom he may or may not accidentally kill).

Sandler's daughter pulls Drew's shirt up over his head and starts wailing on him after Drew makes fun of Sandler's skating ability, but not before Sandler threatens to cut him with an ice skate.

Actually I'd be into it after if it was his daughter really wanting to be a golfer but funding out that actually she's got a natural talent for Hockey. Same story but in reverse and Happy has to come to terms with his child not choosing the path he sets out for them. Feel good comedy schticks with a training montage etc..

[–] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I mean... I'd watch it.

I feel like this is the exact sort of thing that would do incredibly well on Netflix. Cheap to produce, has a household name attached to it, is a sequel to a much loved 'classic' and doesn't require much from the viewer.

Streaming should be knocking out thrillera, dramas and raunchy comedies. They are what dont make it to the cinema anymore and they are what the market needs.

Instead they mostly pump out leftover scripts in these categories, turn good ideas to limited series or make terrible blockbusters.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's straight to video, streamed right to you.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Generally is, makes me appreciate studio producers when I see the shit that gets through to be streaming lynchpins

Cool another thing no one wanted
