After a long and highly anticipated wait, Adam Sandler's sequel to the 1996 comedy classic "Happy Gilmore," released on Friday as "Happy Gilmore 2" on Netflix.

Adam Sandler reprises his role in 'Happy Gilmore 2,' a sequel that struggles to capture the original's comedic spirit and charm.

“Happy Gilmore 2,” the newly released Netflix sequel to Adam Sandler’s 1996 golf comedy, is a lot like its star: A little bit flabbier, a little bit shabbier, but still undeniably funny after all these years.

John Daly, Keegan Bradley, Fred Couples, Bryson DeChambeau, Nick Faldo, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Charles Howell III, Brooks Koepka, Hunter Mahan, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Jack Nicklaus, Corey Pavin, Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Lee Trevino, Bubba Watson, Will Zalatoris.

Scottie Scheffler shocked Jimmy Fallon with his Claret Jug appearance at "The Tonight Show" after attending the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere.

The mid-credits scene, then, tells a bit about what happened to Manatee ( Benny Safdie) and the fallout with Maxi Golf. It starts with a news broadcast — Sports Hole With Pat Daniels — telling viewers that "the bad news just keeps coming" for Maxi and its founder.
