The loveable and undoubtedly hilarious, and if not questionable, Happy Gilmore is returning for a second film with some of our favourites Adam Sandler and Julie Bowen.

In the original 1996 film, Happy (Adam Sandler) was a hot-headed wanna-be professional Hockey player who oddly couldn’t skate. But he soon discovers his talent for an entirely different sport – golf.
It was a simple storyline with amazing characters, which unsurprisingly became a cult classic alongside iconic movies like Cruel Intentions, Pulp Fiction, Clueless, Fight Club and more.
Now nearly three decades after its release, Adam is reprising the role in Happy Gilmore 2.
