Adam Sandler recently opened up about a major character death in Happy Gilmore 2 and its emotional impact. In a new interview, Sandler and Tim Herlihy said they built the story around grief and aging.

There’s some glimmer here that Sandler is trying to say more than he usually does with these forgettable Netflix cash grabs.

The sequel’s release boosted interest in the original “Happy Gilmore,” which is also available on Netflix. The decades-old comedy ranked at No. 3 on the global top 10 list with 11.4 million views, marking its second consecutive week on the list.
