Adam Sandler has the unique ability to make golf interesting. Happy Gilmore 2, a sequel to his 1996 hit comedy, was released today on Netflix. The film brought the return of Sandler to the titular role, and boasted an even more star-studded cast than the original.
In the film, Happy returns to golf to pay for his daughter’s ballet class tuition. Julie Bowen returned as his wife Virginia; Christopher McDonald returned to play Happy’s nemesis Shooter McGavin; Dennis Gougan returned as Doug Thompson, the commissioner of the golf tour; and Ben Stiller returned as Hal L.

Benny Safdie, Kym Whitley, Lavell Crawford, and Blake Clark also joined the cast.
