Entertainment Blog #362 | Happy Gilmore 2 [2025] : Back to Golfing...
If you ask, what's the ideal time gap between 2 movies in a movie series, I'd probably say sooner the better. But you know, making a movie is a big process. So, within a maximum of 4 years would be better. Then, stream services also have a window to earn more by streaming the prequels. But what if it took 30 years to make the 2nd movie? It has a high probability of being a failure. But #Netflix took the risk anyway.
Happy Gilmore 2 is the sequel to the 1996 Happy Gilmore movie. It's a #sports #comedy #movie. Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Benny Safdie, and Haley Joel Osment play the main roles here. Eminem and Bad Bunny also play small cameos here. Even though it's been 30 years since the first movie, the sequel didn't fail due to the cult following of its predecessor.
As we knew Happy Gilmore 30 years ago, what has changed in these years? What happened to him not to continue golfing? Even though the movie is hilarious, the reason behind it is kinda emotional.
Virginia married Happy as it should be, and they've had 5 kids, four sons, and lastly a girl. Happy was happily golfing, winning championships, until one day. That day, a golf ball hit by Happy hit Virginia on's head and she died from the injury. Happy became depressed with the situation and started drinking. And now, he can barely earn money to support the family. The four boys also earn some money, but it's just enough to survive.
Vienna, Happy's daughter, wants to pursue dancing, and her dance teacher recommends enrolling in a four-year degree program in Paris, which costs $75,000 annually. It's not something Happy can handle. So he. Kinda need to get back to golfing now. But his addiction to alcohol keeps him away.
In the interim, there's an entertainment-focused Golf League, Maxi Golf, is in development. Happy was reached by the CEO of Maxi Golf, promising to pay him handsomely, but he denied it. Shooter McGavin is also reached by them. Later, the champions of the Waterbury Golf Championship gathered to take action against it. So there will be a Battle of Champions, 5 champions from Maxi Golf and 5 from Waterbury Golf.
So 5 champions from Waterbury Golf should be chosen. Will Happy Gilmore be able to select for the championship? What will Shooter McGavin do? It's up to you to find out.
