Happy Gilmore 2

Movie · 2025

This Netflix sequel brings back Adam Sandler's beloved golf anti-hero for a story that leans into grief, alcoholism, and crude adult comedy throughout its nearly two-hour runtime. The PG-13 rating is a firm one here: strong and frequent profanity, sexual jokes and partial nudity, drinking played for laughs alongside a serious addiction subplot, and slapstick violence that occasionally turns darker all add up to content squarely aimed at teens and grown-ups.

Best enjoyed by teens 13 and up who are already fans of Adam Sandler's comedy style, ideally with a parent handy to talk through the drinking storyline.
