Adam Sandler & Shooter McGavin meet again

Adam Sandler and Netflix wish you a Merry Christmas and a “Happy” New Year – and Hanukkah. Your gift? The SNL alum posted on Instagram the first teaser for happy gilmore 2, the long-awaited sequel to the wacky golf comedy from 1996. Watch it below.

Sandler’s title character would be on the Senior Tour today, but we won’t get much in the way of plot details for the film. But there are a few hints and some visual nostalgia, including Gilmore’s signature Boston Bruins jersey and waffle body, and him thrilling tee-side fans by riding his driver like a horse. Oh, and … Shooter McGavin appears in the short clip, which is punctuated by an excerpt from Pilot’s 1975 earworm classic “Magic.”

Christopher McDonald returns as Gilmore’s nemesis McGavin, Julie Bowen is back as love interest Virginia, Ben Stiller is back on board and Dennis Dugan reprises his role as pro golf tour manager Doug Thompson. New to the franchise are the likes of Ben Stiller, Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley, Travis Kelce, Nick Swardson, Benny Safdie Scott Mescudi, professional wrestler Jacob Friedman and others.

Happy Gilmore The standouts Carl Weathers and Bob Barker – whose pugilistic role had us all wondering why there isn’t an Oscar for Best Cameo – both left us within the last 18 months.

Kyle Newacheck is directing the sequel from a script by Tim Herlihy and Sanders, who also wrote the original.

So grab another beer from your golf bag on your way to the 19th hole and watch Happy Gilmore 2 teaser below. In front!
