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.

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.

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.
