Happy Gilmore 2 was released on July 25, 2025, on Netflix. The movie, which is directed by Kyle Newacheck, has Adam Sandler playing Happy Gilmore again. Happy goes back to the golf course after almost three decades.

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

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:

Adam Sandler fans should keep their clubs -- er, remotes, out when they finish watching "Happy Gilmore 2" on Netflix.
