Boyce and Sandler, 58, first worked alongside each other in 2010's Grown Ups, before reprising their roles as father-son duo Lenny Feder and Keithie Feder in 2013's Grown Ups 2. Boyce also found success on Jessie and beyond for Disney, notably playing Cruella de Vil's son Carlos in the Descendants franchise.

Carl Weathers’ Chubbs Peterson was also slated to return, until the actor died last year. So this film features the character’s son Slim Peterson (Lavell Crawford), who, like his father, sports a prosthetic hand that has an inconvenient propensity for falling off.

Steve Buscemi, Margaret Qualley and Bad Bunny are just some of the famous faces to appear alongside Adam Sandler in Netflix sequel "Happy Gilmore 2."

The release of “ Happy Gilmore 2 ,” the Netflix sequel to the 1996 comedy hit, is just days away. While Hollywood hot shots might be sweating audience awareness polls or gauging social media chatter, Tim Herlihy — who co-wrote both films with star Adam Sandler — has a more pressing concern: catching up with yard work at his quiet Connecticut home.

Ethan Anderton of SlashFilm says Happy Gilmore 2 takes a big swing but completely whiffs it by doing something unforgivable in the opening sequence from which it can never recover. The sequel is, per the critic, “a poor excuse for nostalgic comedy, and you'd have more fun getting a colonoscopy with a rake.” Anderton gives it a 2 out of 10, writing:

On the day of the Netflix premiere of Happy Gilmore 2 — in which the Kansas City Chiefs tight end appears alongside Adam Sandler — the pop superstar posted her review of the film on her Instagram Story on Friday (July 25). Sharing the film’s poster, she wrote that the project “had me cackling and cheering the whole movie!”

"Happy Gilmore 2" releases on Netflix July 25, and the Adam Sandler-starring sequel is filled with familiar faces including Travis Kelce and Post Malone.

This week, one of the biggest movies of the summer arrives on streaming: Happy Gilmore 2 has finally dropped on Netflix. The film is one of the most anticipated comedies of the year, but it's not the only great thing to watch this weekend if you're looking for something new.
