Adam Sandler's new movie, "Happy Gilmore 2," includes a sweet homage to his late "Grown Ups" co-star Cameron Boyce.
Happy Gilmore 2 is the funniest movie of the year so far by default, if only because no other movies really try to go for laugh-a-minute comedy like this any longer. The new Naked Gun movie will surely challenge it, but why can't the audiences of today get their own Happy Gilmores and Frank Drebins to cherish anew?
When we meet Happy after all these years, he's in sorry shape. He's an alcoholic, using booze to numb the guilt and grief of Virginia's death. But as the Happy Gilmore 2 trailer shows, he decides to sober up and get back to golfing in order to help his beloved daughter Vienna go abroad to ballet school.
"Happy Gilmore 2" is officially streaming on Netflix, and the sequel comedy, 30 years in the making, is making waves online. Reportedly jam-packed with tons of cameos, the new comedy brings back Adam Sandler to one of his most iconic roles.
