Everyone's favorite golfer is back after almost three decades, and he's ready to swing again.
"Happy Gilmore isn't done with golf — not by a long shot," the film's synopsis says. "Adam Sandler's short-fused legend swings for a comeback to make his kid's dream come true."
Netflix first announced in May 2024 that Sandler, 58, would reprise his role as Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered hockey player-turned-golfer, in the sequel to the beloved 1996 golf comedy "Happy Gilmore." The film is a favorite among Sandler's fans and found a cult following in the golf community.
In the sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind after a tragic accident years ago. When he needs to raise $300,000 to send his daughter, Vienna (Sunny Sandler), to a prestigious ballet school in Paris, Happy hits the links again, where he runs into old pal Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald). Happy also has to save traditional golf when an energy drink mogul (Benny Safdie) tries to popularize a more extreme version of the sport.
Adam Sandler reprises his title role in the comedy sequel "Happy Gilmore 2."What was 'Happy Gilmore' about?
In the original film, Sandler plays a professional hockey player named Happy Gilmore who develops a passion for golf. Happy decides to join a golf tournament and win enough money to buy his grandmother's (Frances Bay) home before she loses it.
During the tournament, Happy faces off against arrogant golfer Shooter McGavin, who is threatened by him.
"With his powerful driving skills and foulmouthed attitude, Happy becomes an unlikely golf hero -- much to the chagrin of the well-mannered golf professionals," the film's synopsis reads.
