Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2 surprises critics and fans with solid reviews, earning a higher Rotten Tomatoes score than the original. Here’s what you need to know.

Netflix has just released Happy Gilmore 2, but whether it's actually going to be worth watching or not is an open question.

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 2 was released on Netflix on July 25, 2025, and received mostly positive reviews, holding a 65% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film serves as a sequel to the original 1996 title.
