Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix: A Sequel No One Expected

Written By Chicago Bacon

We didn’t think we would be here, but somehow here we are: Happy Gilmore 2 hit Netflix on July 25, 2025, and it’s real. It exists. We watched the whole thing so you don’t have to, though you might want to, depending on how much you love absurd cameos and 90s nostalgia.

🎧 We reviewed the movie in full on the latest episode of our podcast, Adam Sandler Please Stop — the complete retrospective of every Adam Sandler movie, past, present, and unfortunately... future.

So, what’s the deal with Happy Gilmore 2?

In typical Happy Madison fashion, the sequel doubles down on all things Sandler: golf course brawls, surprise appearances from old characters, and enough product placement to fund a new pair of Air Monarchs.

But what surprised us is how weirdly sentimental it got. There's an emotional core buried under the goofiness—and yes, we debate whether that’s earned or just a side effect of watching too many Sandler films.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Whether the sequel is any good

  • How it compares to the original (spoiler: it’s complicated)

  • Easter eggs for die-hard fans

  • Cameos that made us scream (both good and bad)

  • And what this means for the Sandlerverse
