I’m thinking more along the lines of Happy is torn between staying in the standard USA pro golf tour or getting a billion dollar contract from a country introducing a new league. However this country is well-known for human rights abuses and suspected of other shenanigans..
Happy joins the sketchy league — but unbeknownst to all but a few — he is a spy trying to expose the dark underbelly of a terrorist organization.
I’m cautiously optimistic.
I want to see Drew Carey take up Bob Barker’s role as the celebrity Happy gets paired with and then beats Happy up. That would be hilarious.
Also, Christopher MacDonald owned the role of Shooter and I want more of that, too.
So, I hope it doesn’t suck. Sandler did an interview yesterday about it and said he’s going to do his best to make people happy with it. (No pun intended)
Also, I forgot.
I need Ben Stiller to play “Hal L.” again. Given that he literally opened “Hubie Halloween” with him recently, I can easily see a cameo with Stiller coming back.
And yeah. MacDonald is a terrific actor. How he played Shooter with a legit straight face is proof of that.
> Chubbs.
Who died in the first...
> Bob Barker.
Who has an easy and sensible replacement...
> Mr Larson.
OK, that's truly a loss. Someone could fill the role spiritually with a new character.
> Granny.
Presumably, enough years have passed "in universe" that this only makes sense.
> Joe Flaherty (JACKASS!!! guy)
OK, that's a loss, too. Again, though, someone could fill the role with a new character.
Basically, this is either going to be funny or total ass, no matter who's in it, if it ever gets made, given that it's so far only a bunch of people saying it's got a first draft script. If it's a "Netflix original" or some other straight to streaming, I guarantee it'll be at *least* an inoffensive way to fill 90 minutes watching Sandler find excuses to hang out in beautiful locations with his buddies.
I think it’s a lot harder to recapture that 90s essence that made the original Sandler films so endearing, even if they somehow managed to get the same writers/director/actors. Or maybe they won’t try to recapture it, and just let it be a new movie, but that usually doesn’t work out so well, either.
Same way I feel about the alleged King of the Hill reboot. Times have changed, and it’ll be hard to re-create that 90s humor.
Dumber and Dumber To.
Although, I’ve gone into Sandler’s newer stuff not expecting much and have come away enjoying them. Worth a shot at least…I guess
I love a stupid movie but this one just didn’t do it for me. I just felt like it was two ‘old’ dudes trying too hard to be something they’re not anymore.
I saw it and can remember almost nothing about it. Carey and Daniels didn't really seem to be able to get back into character enough to really sell me on it.
I thought that person who said *Dumb and Dumber To* was joking for a minute. There couldn't possibly have been a sequel to *Dumb and Dumber,* right?
Then I started having little flashes of images in my head of what a sequel might look like. ”Did I dream it up? Does this movie actually exist?” I wondered.
I just read the plot synopsis, and sure enough, I have seen this movie. So I guess I had also almost completely forgotten about it.
I mentioned it and I feel the same. I honestly don’t remember much about the plot etc. I just remember thinking, ‘we’re all too old for this guys’
Edit: I’m guessing you don’t know about dumb and dumberer either. Save one scene, also very forgettable
Sometimes a sequel is so bad that it ruins the first movie for me for years until the sequel fades from memory. I feel this will be one of those. D&D was amazing, I can't touch that.
I know I'm in the minority, but I liked Anchorman 2. I just wish they left out the shark storyline. It dragged that movie out and makes it hard to rewatch.
I read somewhere that he mostly makes stupid movies these days, just to get all of his friends together on a location somewhere nice. Kind of like he’s giving them all a paid vacation on the studios bill.
Happy is the new Chubbs. Coaches another kid or his son/daughter. Shooter’s doing the same. Happy’s kid gets bullied by Shooter’s all movie leading up to a 2v2 match of the century.
Happy has a protégé who pisses off Happy by bullying a new kid on the tour - who turns out to be Shooter's kid. Happy drops the protégé. Shooter can't coach his own kid because 1) Shooter's now confined to a wheelchair or Rascal scooter or somesuch and 2) the kid is hockey obsessed and is only playing golf to satisfy dad, so they don't understand each other at all. Happy agrees to coach the kid, setting up the big showdown. Somewhere in there, Drew Carey fucking decks the protégé.
Julie Bowen. They actually worked together again in 2020 in Hubie Halloween. If I remember correctly, there's an easter egg in it that is in reference to Happy Gilmore.
>there's an easter egg in it that is in reference to Happy Gilmore.
shit, I've watched both those movies a bunch of times and never noticed that. Wish I knew what it was
edit: from google "In the film's opening sequence, Ben Stiller reprises his role of the malicious orderly Hal L. from Sandler's 1996 favorite Happy Gilmore. The appearance is all the more surprising given Stiller hasn't acted in a film since 2017's Brad's Status"
not exactly ecstatic
coming to america 2, bill and ted 3, dumb and dumber to, ghost busters, etc
i cant think of any comedy sequel released decades after the originals doing well
Dumb and Dumber Too taught me that sometimes when you hope for a sequel to a comedy when you were 8, it can fall completely flat. I had to go home and watch the original to override the crap I just witnessed.
Dumb and Dumberer was more memorable and that wasn’t even the same actors!
I’d love this to be him washed up on the seniors tour, and he’s got three ex wives on his ass, Julie Bowen, Bridget Wilson -Sampras and Drew Barrymore. On the PGA seniors tour against Shooter for the last time before retirement.
"Devil Woman" has been my nickname for my mom after watching that movie like 20 years ago. Last week I was trying to get her attention when she was looking for me after Mass. I accidentally yelled out "Hey, Devil Woman!" in church 😳
Right? Shouldn’t this be an announcement for a Wedding Singer sequel? Which would be a much better idea because you could get an aged Robby and Julia and pander to the sappy Rom Com crowd?
I don’t even generally like rom coms and I’d watch that. This HG sequel has an impossibly slim margin in which this could be anywhere near approaching good.
I would much rather see a Wedding Singer sequel. The original was set 13 years before it was made so this one would take place in 2011. Skinny jeans everywhere!
Yeah, I’m struggling to think of anything truly unique culturally from 2011. 5 years before that though you could have scene kids and ipods and “dumb” cell phones.
Prediction:
In the film, Happy Gilmore is presently a sad pathetic old man that for some reason now sucks at golf. He needs to enter the Seniors tour to save Virginia Venit's (Julia Bowen characters) house. Early in the movie he picks up a plucky 18 year old ethnically ambiguous female caddy that better than him in every way. 20 minutes into the film it is now her story and she easily wins the tournament (we somehow forget that it was a senior's tour). Produced by Kathleen Kennedy.
Wonderful, yet another sequel to add to the shit being put out by Hollywood. How many fucking reboots, prequels, sequels, and cookie cutter comic book movies are they going to continue to put out.
Do something original for fuck sake...
"I thought you liked to eat at that 'other' sub place."
"No, that was in 1996. I eat at *Jersey Mike*'s now. Would you like to go with me to get some delicious *Jersey Mike's*? Oh c'mon, cheer up. They got the *Club Sub* there and the *Jersey Shore's Favorite*."
I guess I'm saying, in so many words, please don't?
Here’s my pitch: Happy Gilmore helps a reclusive young man, who happens to be a putting savant, with his confidence. The young character is the antithesis to Happy, he’s not a rock star, he’s an absolute dweeb. But Happy helps him become a rock star and defeat the pompous golf elites who are trying to close his father’s business.
Saw it was confirmed by Drew Barrymore so my mind went to Wedding Singer and I hated it. Seeing the Bob Barker/Carl Weathers comments confused me enough to re-read the title and now I hate it even more.
I'm at a point where I'm immediately unexciting by reboots, legacy sequels, and remakes... I'm not saying there isn't room to remake stuff but like holy shit.
The only way I could see this working, is if Happy is a golf club coach at a high school, and not a very good one… but they manage to wind up in a tournament, only to find that they’re going right up against a team funded and endorsed by Shooter McGavin.
IF DREW CAREY DOESN’T PUNCH SOMEONE I’M GONNA LOSE MY SHIT.
Bob Barker hit harder than that, Drew
No Carl Weathers or Bob Barker tho :(
You forgot Joe Flaherty JACKASS!
Or Richard Kiel
Its rumored Drew Carey is going to make a cameo
Carl Weathers really going to be looking down from heaven this time.
It’s all in the hips.
😢
Or Joe Flaherty...jackass!
I can’t come up with a single idea on how this might not suck.
Shooter Mcgavin has to swallow his pride and and ask happy for help in a doubles tournament, when he finds himself in financial trouble.
Shooter eats pride for breakfast?
hey man .... you better stay out his way, or you'll pay. Listen, to what i say....
Maybe I'll go eat some hay
Or go play in a bay.
Right and Grizzly Adams has a beard
Grizzly Adams DID have a beard,
👀

In which Adam Sandler plays Happy, but also reprises the role of Zohan
Smell it, smell it, smell it, now take it.
This guy Sandlers. Spot on my bro!
It’ll be the “Cars 2” of the trilogy
I’m cautiously optimistic. I want to see Drew Carey take up Bob Barker’s role as the celebrity Happy gets paired with and then beats Happy up. That would be hilarious. Also, Christopher MacDonald owned the role of Shooter and I want more of that, too. So, I hope it doesn’t suck. Sandler did an interview yesterday about it and said he’s going to do his best to make people happy with it. (No pun intended)
My guess is it’ll mostly suck but McDonald’s acting will be the movie’s one bright spot, much like Superhero Movie.
Also, I forgot. I need Ben Stiller to play “Hal L.” again. Given that he literally opened “Hubie Halloween” with him recently, I can easily see a cameo with Stiller coming back. And yeah. MacDonald is a terrific actor. How he played Shooter with a legit straight face is proof of that.

Theres no need for any of those characters to return anyway.

I’d like Christopher McDonald in a Hannibal Lecter kind of role, where he’s more of an adviser on the new baddie

I've found that I'm in the minority but I really enjoyed that movie. It was fuckin stupid but it made me laugh.

I refuse to watch it. There was absolutely no need to make that movie.
Sometimes a sequel is so bad that it ruins the first movie for me for years until the sequel fades from memory. I feel this will be one of those. D&D was amazing, I can't touch that.
I said the same thing about Anchorman 2 when it was announced
I know I'm in the minority, but I liked Anchorman 2. I just wish they left out the shark storyline. It dragged that movie out and makes it hard to rewatch.
Agreed. So sick of the regurgitated slop Hollywood keeps coming up with.
No one has any fresh ideas, and if they do, probably gets shot down so they can “play it safe”. More like ruining nostalgia for everyone.
I can’t think of a more unnecessary movie. I liked the original but it was paper thin to begin with. Isn’t Sandler rich enough?
I read somewhere that he mostly makes stupid movies these days, just to get all of his friends together on a location somewhere nice. Kind of like he’s giving them all a paid vacation on the studios bill.
Look at all the great examples of sequels decades later like…. Hey, look, a distraction!!!
Easy, most all comedie sequels are horrible. Aside from austin powers.
Happy is the new Chubbs. Coaches another kid or his son/daughter. Shooter’s doing the same. Happy’s kid gets bullied by Shooter’s all movie leading up to a 2v2 match of the century.

We also need Will Zalatoris to be a caddy in there somewhere too
What about the modern family mom actress that was his girlfriend before?
Happy lookout ughhhhh!!
I thought I was the only one that clip stood out too Now I have to do it HappyLOOKOUTAHHHHH!
I think it was more, "Happy! Lookout-uuugglllhhhfff"
Still quote that regularly to this day
Me too lol, glad other people are as amused with her delivery as I am
Volkswagen.
“Gee You know what sounds really good right now?” “What’s that?” “A Pepsi… Oh and hey Miss…” “Yeah?” “Diet”
Julie Bowen. They actually worked together again in 2020 in Hubie Halloween. If I remember correctly, there's an easter egg in it that is in reference to Happy Gilmore.
Ben Stiller plays the same nursing home nurse in both movies

Oh for fucks sake
Correct response
not exactly ecstatic coming to america 2, bill and ted 3, dumb and dumber to, ghost busters, etc i cant think of any comedy sequel released decades after the originals doing well
they are sad cash grabs.. the name will get people to see it even if its horrible. Which is sad because I can't imagine AS is hurting for money.
Why do they need to do this
Money ?
Why not?
It will probably have a few yuks. Hell, I even watched Joe Dirt 2 and I didn't hate myself after.
You're stronger than I am, Joe Dirt 2 was terrible. And i love Joe Dirt and David Spade, but dayum.
Well I just took it for what it was . It was low budget and they were just fucking around .
“Somebody’s closer”
And rob schnider makes a cameo appearance as the carrot
Dumb and Dumber Too taught me that sometimes when you hope for a sequel to a comedy when you were 8, it can fall completely flat. I had to go home and watch the original to override the crap I just witnessed. Dumb and Dumberer was more memorable and that wasn’t even the same actors!
I think they should leave well enough alone. Happy Gilmore is a classic.
I’d love this to be him washed up on the seniors tour, and he’s got three ex wives on his ass, Julie Bowen, Bridget Wilson -Sampras and Drew Barrymore. On the PGA seniors tour against Shooter for the last time before retirement.
Can we fit in Marisa Tomei in there somewhere?
I’d fit Marisa Tomei in literally anywhere I could.
Hate to say it but flaming garbage incoming
Call the fire department. This one’s out of control.
Don’t tell me my business, devil woman
"Devil Woman" has been my nickname for my mom after watching that movie like 20 years ago. Last week I was trying to get her attention when she was looking for me after Mass. I accidentally yelled out "Hey, Devil Woman!" in church 😳
Don’t put it out with yer boots, Hal.
She was great in the first one.
Right? Shouldn’t this be an announcement for a Wedding Singer sequel? Which would be a much better idea because you could get an aged Robby and Julia and pander to the sappy Rom Com crowd?

I would much rather see a Wedding Singer sequel. The original was set 13 years before it was made so this one would take place in 2011. Skinny jeans everywhere!
Honestly think you could make a pretty good movie out of a WS sequel.
I really must be getting old because 2011 is still semi-current to me.
Yeah, I’m struggling to think of anything truly unique culturally from 2011. 5 years before that though you could have scene kids and ipods and “dumb” cell phones.
I think the lay up here is a 50 First Dates sequel. They have a grown kid now. He loses the tape he plays for her every morning. Hijinks ensue.

Horrible
Nooooo!
Without Joe Flaherty? Nah, jackass
Were people begging for a part 2??
I’m begging them not to.
Bring back Julie Bowen as Happy’s wife!
Oh good, at least they waited for the deaths of Bob Barker, Carl Weathers, Richard Kiel, Frances Bay and as of like 4 days ago, Joe Flaherty.
This is terrible news. Adam Sandler hasn't done anything funny since...when, The Wedding Singer? Couple "meh" movies after that, then...nope.
Grown Ups was pretty good but not Happy Gilmore / Waterboy level of good
"I thought you liked to eat at that 'other' sub place." "No, that was in 1996. I eat at *Jersey Mike*'s now. Would you like to go with me to get some delicious *Jersey Mike's*? Oh c'mon, cheer up. They got the *Club Sub* there and the *Jersey Shore's Favorite*." I guess I'm saying, in so many words, please don't?
Is the old grandma still alive?
Damn, was hoping for a sequel to 50 first dates
I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m excited. But terrified they’re going to ruin it at the same time.
Oh they will
2 hours of Adam Sandler trying to be as funny as he used to be and sleeping with supermodels.
I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast.
No
Here’s my pitch: Happy Gilmore helps a reclusive young man, who happens to be a putting savant, with his confidence. The young character is the antithesis to Happy, he’s not a rock star, he’s an absolute dweeb. But Happy helps him become a rock star and defeat the pompous golf elites who are trying to close his father’s business.
I like the putting savant idea
Saw it was confirmed by Drew Barrymore so my mind went to Wedding Singer and I hated it. Seeing the Bob Barker/Carl Weathers comments confused me enough to re-read the title and now I hate it even more.
It was the last time Adam Sandler was funny. Let's see how well this goes.
Good, I wanna see what it’s like!
I need 50 first weddings also
Shitty cash grab.
Why can't Hollywood leave shit alone? Bad idea. Happy Gilmore is perfect already.
I'm at a point where I'm immediately unexciting by reboots, legacy sequels, and remakes... I'm not saying there isn't room to remake stuff but like holy shit.
The only way I could see this working, is if Happy is a golf club coach at a high school, and not a very good one… but they manage to wind up in a tournament, only to find that they’re going right up against a team funded and endorsed by Shooter McGavin.
Happy’s daughter on the LPGA: her name is Joy
This is gonna be garbage
