But how many of those people watched the whole film? 😆

i don't trust any of these self-reported view counts

I did, and it was kinda crap.

I did and I’m pretty against these legacy sequels. They never seem to do a good job and they are obvious cash grabs but Happy Gilmore 2 was a fun watch.

This seems like a film you put on while doing chores, talking on your phone, working, having it on when your neighbor is over or just wanting to fall sleep.

I mean, that's literally what Netflix is going for. They don't want engaging content, they want stuff that's "second-screenable" i.e. to have on in the background while you're on your phone/laptop.
