Can you believe it’s almost time to hit the links again with Happy? It still feels like a sort of miracle to know that the 2025 movie schedule will bring us Happy Gilmore 2, almost 30 years after the first comedy hit landed in theaters. I'll allow us all a moment to adjust our backs and fetch our slippers before we continue.
The teaser for Adam Sandler’s upcoming legacy-quel gave us some pretty exciting glimpses on what’s to come And, now, a full trailer featuring a cavalcade of cameos has delivered something I’ve been waiting for since the project’s announcement: Happy Gilmore’s continued owning of Shooter McGavin.
Unveiled during tonight’s live Tudum event for Netflix’s upcoming movies and TV shows, the return of everyone’s favorite hockey player-turned-golfer couldn’t feel closer. And getting to see Bad Bunny, Ben Stiller and even Travis Kelce on deck for Happy Gilmore 2 definitely made my night.
Especially when it looks like these two are going to get into a bit of a conflict, for reasons we still don't know about. I guess it's a good thing the original plan for Kelce's Happy Gilmore 2 role didn't pan out - seeing as I now want to see this new caddy beat his potential foe into a tray of chicken tenders.
And who wants to root against a Gilmore after all of this time? No, seriously, who? Could it be....SHOOTER MCGAVIN (Christopher McDonald)?! Watching this classic sports movie baddie in action does make the wait for July 25th’s Netflix subscription driver seem relatively infinite, especially if the fighting is already this heated.
If Happy's already reminding his legendary nemesis that he eats pieces of shit for breakfast, where's he gonna go from there? And how's Shooter going to try and top that; after all this time? Maybe they should have called this movie Happy Gilmore: The Final Reckoning; because there are a lot of threads from the past that are paid off in this full trailer. And, based on some social media traffic during the film's production, we will get a scene of former Tom Cruise impersonator Ben Stiller running.
Quick glimpses of a man that looks like the son of Carl Weathers' beloved character Chubbs, as well relatives of Richard Kiel and Joe Flaherty's original Happy Gilmore characters, are also present. All this, plus the tease of a potential Jon Lovitz cameo, make for a pretty exciting continuation of what's already considered one of the best '90s movies ever!
It’s pretty sweet to get back in some sand traps with Adam Sandler after all this time. So, if you’re looking fore-ward to what comes next, Happy Gilmore 2 will be making its way to the Netflix ready device of your choice, starting July 25th.
