Happy Gilmore 2, the highly-anticipated sequel to the beloved comedy, is set to premiere on Netflix on July 25. In the latest teaser, fans are treated to a nostalgic glimpse of Adam Sandler reprising his role as the iconic character, Happy Gilmore. The clip opens with Sandler's character admiring the busts of golfing legends such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods, before humorously addressing his own less-than-flattering statue. Happy quips, “SpongeBob? What is that? What’s with the beaver teeth?”
The teaser sets the stage for an engaging storyline where Happy dons his Boston Bruins jersey and picks up his golf clubs for one last shot at reclaiming his golfing glory. However, he soon realizes that the game has evolved, with modern players hitting the ball with unprecedented power. This fresh challenge promises to provide plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments.
Returning to the cast is Julie Bowen, reprising her role as Virginia Venit. The trailer also features Christopher McDonald as the ever-competitive Shooter McGavin, who is seen expressing his frustration in a dramatic rain-soaked scene. Additionally, Bad Bunny joins the cast as Happy's caddie, delivering a memorable moment where he hilariously smashes a golf club over his leg. Fans will also spot Ben Stiller in a brief cameo as Hal, the mischievous nursing home orderly.
The Happy Gilmore 2 cast boasts an impressive lineup, including Travis Kelce, Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutkosky, Blake Clark, and Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Sandler’s daughters, Sadie and Sunny, will also make appearances, adding a personal touch to the film. In a delightful twist, the movie will feature cameos from both current and former professional golfers, including Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, and John Daly.
As is typical for late-period Sandler films, viewers can expect a plethora of cameos. Notable appearances include Margaret Qualley, Benny Safdie, and renowned golf instructor/model Paige Spiranic. Furthermore, Sandler has revealed that Eminem filmed a “funny as hell” scene for the movie. On The Dan Patrick Show, Sandler expressed his excitement about working with the rapper, stating, “I’ve known Eminem for a long time, he’s a great guy and he came in and was funny as hell.”
With its blend of humor, nostalgia, and a star-studded cast, Happy Gilmore 2 promises to be a must-watch for fans of the original film and newcomers alike. As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to grow for what is sure to be another classic comedy from Adam Sandler.
