The loveable and undoubtedly hilarious, and if not questionable, Happy Gilmore is returning for a second film with some of our favourites Adam Sandler and Julie Bowen.

In the original 1996 film, Happy (Adam Sandler) was a hot-headed wanna-be professional Hockey player who oddly couldn’t skate. But he soon discovers his talent for an entirely different sport – golf.
