Now, fans are getting a blast from the past with the release of “Happy Gilmore 2” the follow-up to Sandler’s breakout 1996 film.
Take a look at the Happy Gilmore 2 Premiere:
We all saw the start of Sandler’s character Happy’s golf career, and rooted for his antics to raise money for his grandmother. Now almost thirty years later, he’s returning to the course after retiring, to pay for his daughter’s ballet school. The full-length trailer released by Netflix shows an action packed, hilarious addition to Happy’s story. With hints of guest appearances from Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, Post Malone, and the usual Sandler flick laugh-out-loud banter, this sequel will likely be a hole in one. Happy Gilmore 2 doesn’t have any published reviews yet, but the first film has a 63% from critics on rotten tomatoes, and 85% from audiences.
