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

Adam Sandler returns as the golfer with anger issues in director Kyle Newacheck's sequel that is now streaming.

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.

"Happy Gilmore 2" dropped on Netflix Friday. A day later, Baltimore Orioles backup catcher Alex Jackson practically recreated the franchise's signature move.

Ethan Anderton of SlashFilm says Happy Gilmore 2 takes a big swing but completely whiffs it by doing something unforgivable in the opening sequence from which it can never recover. The sequel is, per the critic, “a poor excuse for nostalgic comedy, and you'd have more fun getting a colonoscopy with a rake.” Anderton gives it a 2 out of 10, writing:

Steve Buscemi, Margaret Qualley and Bad Bunny are just some of the famous faces to appear alongside Adam Sandler in Netflix sequel "Happy Gilmore 2."

Taylor Swift is all about hyping her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
