Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Ben Stiller and more actors from ‘Happy Gilmore’ are returning for ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

Adam Sandler has the unique ability to make golf interesting. Happy Gilmore 2, a sequel to his 1996 hit comedy, was released today on Netflix. The film brought the return of Sandler to the titular role, and boasted an even more star-studded cast than the original.

There are some solid running jokes that never get old in Happy Gilmore 2, showing just how much director Kyle Newacheck and writers Sandler and Tim Herlihy understand what makes these characters great. The latter two wrote and created the original movie, and they once again strike gold with their return to this zany universe.

"Happy Gilmore 2" tees off 29 years later with sports stars, big cameos and a mission to honor the cult classic's legacy.
