In the sequel, Happy decides to pick up his gold club once more so that he can pay for his daughter Vienna to go to ballet school. But he's lost his mojo and he's competing against a new generation of golfing talent, so it won't be easy.

It feels like "Happy Gilmore's" 30th high-school reunion. But it also testifies to the timelessness of Sandler's Jerry-Lewis-meets-punk-rock rage.

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.
