Screen Rant on MSNAll 72 Cameos In Happy Gilmore 2The long-awaited comedy sequel Happy Gilmore 2 has finally landed on Netflix, and it's positively loaded with cameos on top of its star-studded cast.
Happy Gilmore 2” releases on Netflix July 25, and the Adam Sandler-starring sequel is filled with familiar faces left and right. While Sandler reprises his role as the titular golfer alongside other returners Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin,
Long-time Sandler collaborator Steve Buscemi makes an early cameo in "Happy Gilmore 2." After Happy loses his grandma's house for a second time following Virginia's death, he and his daughter are forced to move to a seedier side of town. Buscemi plays their new oddball neighbor.
It’s clear from the clip that footage from the original film was recycled, but it was a nice nod to Barker and the rest of the gang, and in lieu of The Price Is Right jokes, the new film opted to reference Jeopardy!, including a clip in which Vienna plays a clue reading by Ken Jennings out loud as players fail to guess Happy’s name.
With the possible exception of Billy Madison, 1996’s Happy Gilmore is Adam Sandler’s crowning big-screen comedy achievement. Thus, Happy Gilmore 2, a 29-years-later sequel premiering now on Netflix, has a (relatively) high bar to clear.
The long-awaited sequel to one of Sandler's best-loved comedy hits isn't a hole in one, but its blend of wacky gags and wistful sadness (no, really) sinks some solid shots.
Sandler co-wrote Happy Gilmore 2 and it’s clear he’s putting a lot of his own perspective into the movie. It’s a story about a former icon who is a beaten down, alcoholic mess surrounded by absent friends. Sandler’s aware of his age and seems to be injecting a cognizant sense of real mortality into the story of Happy Gilmore.
