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

Adam Sandler reprises his role in 'Happy Gilmore 2,' a sequel that struggles to capture the original's comedic spirit and charm.

With the possible exception of Billy Madison, 1996’s Happy Gilmore is Adam Sandler’s crowning big-screen comedy achievement. Thus, Happy Gilmore 2, a 29-years-later sequel premiering now on Netflix, has a (relatively) high bar to clear.
