Happy Gilmore 2 Released on Netflix with Multiple Cameos, Easter Eggs

Happy Gilmore 2, released on Netflix nearly 30 years after the original, brings back Adam Sandler as the loud and rebellious golf pro now facing fatherhood and a second chance in golf. The sequel is packed with Easter eggs and cameos, including real-life sports stars like Louisville's Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler, and celebrities such as Eminem, Kid Cudi, Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, and Post Malone, with Sandler’s own family also making appearances. Returning characters include Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin and Julie Bowen as Veronica Venit, while fan-favorite Otto, played by Allen Covert, is absent due to a storyline revealing Happy's wife Veronica's tragic death and Otto's character moving to Switzerland for tax reasons. The film nods to the original through subtle visual callbacks, iconic lines like “Eat a bag of d**ks!”, and flashbacks that highlight Happy's growth and his late mentor Chubbs’s advice. Additionally, the movie incorporates personal touches such as gravestones of original cast members who have passed away and references to Sandler’s real-life career on Saturday Night Live. These elements combine to deliver nostalgia, humor, and fresh storylines that engage both longtime fans and new viewers.
