Long-time Sandler collaborator Steve Buscemi makes an early cameo in "Happy Gilmore 2." After Happy loses his grandma's house for a second time following Virginia's death, he and his daughter are forced to move to a seedier side of town. Buscemi plays their new oddball neighbor.

The fan-favorite villain from Happy Gilmore, Shooter McGavin, gets a satisfying redemption arc in the recently released sequel on Netflix.

Sandler co-wrote Happy Gilmore 2 and it’s clear he’s putting a lot of his own perspective into the movie. It’s a story about a former icon who is a beaten down, alcoholic mess surrounded by absent friends. Sandler’s aware of his age and seems to be injecting a cognizant sense of real mortality into the story of Happy Gilmore.

Happy Gilmore 2 is the interesting amalgamation of rehash, redemption, and enough hilarious moments for it to just barely qualify as a worthy sequel, but with a few parts that make it surpass the first golf outing, and this is coming from someone who was looking for any reason to trash it.

It’s clear from the clip that footage from the original film was recycled, but it was a nice nod to Barker and the rest of the gang, and in lieu of The Price Is Right jokes, the new film opted to reference Jeopardy!, including a clip in which Vienna plays a clue reading by Ken Jennings out loud as players fail to guess Happy’s name.
