Happy Gilmore 2: Will Make you Smile! (Netflix)

I saw "Happy Gilmore" 30 years ago, but I didn't remember much about it, except that it was very funny.  I didn't think the last few Sandler films were good comedies, so I was concerned that he might "whiff" on this one.  Fortunately, this sequel is a "hit," right in the comedy "sweet spot."  You don't have to like golf to enjoy this movie, but golfers will like it more.  The movie's screenplay (co-written by Sandler and Timothy Herlihy) is clever and has plenty of laughs. It is 30 years after Happy Gilmore has won multiple golf tournaments.  Happy (Sandler) is now retired and miserable.  Since he was on top, he has "hit the skids."  He is broke, has a minimum-wage job, and is an alcoholic.  Happy loses his grandmother's house, where he and his 5 children live.  (Ironically, the premise of the original movie was to make sure his grandmother kept the house.)  Soon, he winds up in rehab with the hope of getting himself together.  One of his two daughters, Vienna (played by his real-life daughter, Sunny Sandler) is an elite ballet dancer.  She has been accepted by the Paris Opera Ballet Company, but her tuition is $300,000 and Happy can barely afford a hot dog.  In order to get the $300,000, Happy decides to make a comeback! The film has actors from the first film, including Julie Bowen as his wife (Virginia) and Christopher McDonald as his nemesis (Shooter McGavin).  Former golfer, great John Daly ("grip it and rip it"), has a pretty big part and there are cameos with Hall of Famers (Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, and Fred Couples) as well as current great pros (Roy McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, and Xander Schauffle). Will Happy's comeback be successful?  It's on Netflix so you won't have to "drive" to see it!
