Adam Sandler stars alongside his wife Jackie and daughters Sadie and Sunny in his new Netflix film "Happy Gilmore 2."

Despite Happy Gilmore 2’s success on Netflix, Sandler has yet to complete one major career milestone, one he should’ve fulfilled a long time ago.

Adam Sandler's “Happy Gilmore” became one of the most beloved comedies of the ’90s and codified the hockey-style swing as a mainstay on golf courses.

Adam Sandler’s kindness is once again in full swing. The actor, 58, is addressing the heartfelt tribute he filmed in honor of Cameron Boyce in “Happy Gilmore 2.” Sandler and Boyce, who died at age 20 in 2019 after suffering an epileptic seizure, starred in the 2010 comedy “Grown Ups” and the 2013 sequel “Grown Ups 2” together.

The sequel’s release boosted interest in the original “Happy Gilmore,” which is also available on Netflix. The decades-old comedy ranked at No. 3 on the global top 10 list with 11.4 million views, marking its second consecutive week on the list.

Philip Fine Schneider (no, he's not related to Sandler pal Rob Schneider) makes his onscreen debut in Happy Gilmore 2 as Bobby Gilmore, the third son of Happy and Virginia. Before landing the role, Schneider was playing none other than Hamlet in a 2023 college production of the Shakespeare tragedy at Yale University.

Boyce played Keithie Feder, son of Sandler’s character Lenny Feder in “Grown Ups” and “Grown Ups 2.” Both movies were directed by original “Happy Gilmore” director Dennis Dugan. Sandler and “ Happy Gilmore 2 ″ director Kyle Newacheck filmed the sequel in New Jersey last fall.
