Carl Weathers’ Chubbs Peterson was also slated to return, until the actor died last year. So this film features the character’s son Slim Peterson (Lavell Crawford), who, like his father, sports a prosthetic hand that has an inconvenient propensity for falling off.

Happy Gilmore” makes par through the strength of its sheer stupid energy and the game efforts of Sandler and his 50 or so co-stars.

It feels like "Happy Gilmore's" 30th high-school reunion. But it also testifies to the timelessness of Sandler's Jerry-Lewis-meets-punk-rock rage.

In the sequel, Happy decides to pick up his gold club once more so that he can pay for his daughter Vienna to go to ballet school. But he's lost his mojo and he's competing against a new generation of golfing talent, so it won't be easy.

Happy Gilmore 2 is an incredibly fun addition to Adam Sandler’s catalog, and the film has a surprisingly powerful message about family and sacrifice.

Happy Gilmore 2 is here! The long-awaited sequel to Happy Gilmore is set 29 years after the first film and follows Happy (Adam Sandler) coming out of retirement to pay for his daughter’s ballet school.
