COMMENT: The star of ‘Uncut Gems’ and ‘The Waterboy’ is often discussed in stark, binary terms. After watching his latest Netflix sequel, Louis Chilton wonders if Sandler deserves more nuance

“Adam put a tiny Cameron Boyce (played his son in Grown Ups) tribute in Happy Gilmore 2. Excuse me while I sob,” one user wrote on X, while another one added, “It’s 10am and I’m crying seeing that Adam Sandler put a Cameron Boyce cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 .”

The sequel to the 1996 hit comedy Happy Gilmore finds Sandler’s character down on his luck, to put it mildly. After accidentally killing his wife with a golf ball, Happy is a depressed, broke, alcoholic struggling to provide for his five children.

There is a Happy Gilmore 2 mid-credits scene, after the initial cast credits roll. In the Happy Gilmore 2 mid-credits scene, a news segment reveals that Maxi Golf has been shut down, after a recall of its branded energy drink, which was found to cause health problems, including severe bad breath.

Many of the biggest names in golf appear in Happy Gilmore 2, including John Daly who plays himself to perfection.
