One of the most iconic comedy films of all time is currently on Netflix ahead of its long-awaited sequel arriving soon
Netflix is currently streaming the original beloved comedy flick that eventually spawned a sequel that’s been almost 30 years in the making.
Starring one of Hollywood’s most prolific funnymen in one of his breakout movie roles, it’s not to be missed for anyone planning on catching the long-awaited follow-up this week.
Adam Sandler stars as Happy Gilmore in this riotous sports comedy that’s only grown more and more popular over the years.
When Happy, a washed up ice hockey player, learns his grandma is in danger of losing her house, he unexpectedly discovers a talent for golf and begins competing in paid tournaments.
However, he soon develops a reputation for his rambunctious behaviour and forms a rivalry with star golfer Shooter McGavin (played by Christopher McDonald).

Widely considered one of the best comedies of the 1990s, Happy Gilmore is adored by millions of fans around the world. With the sequel coming up this Friday (25th July), now is the perfect time to revisit this side-splitting gem.
The original is frequently included on lists of the funniest movies ever made, so Happy Gilmore 2 has a lot to live up to when it drops on Netflix this week.
One fan raved in a Google review: “Happy Gilmore was the funniest movie I ever saw. From the opening to end I was always laughing or snickering.
“I definitely didn’t expect to love it so much. Even with its age, it’s still funny and it made me wish the sport was actually that fun.”
“Somehow, this film eluded me for the past thirty years,” another viewer admitted.
“Probably cause I don’t like golf and Sandler’s later career movies have been a bit hit and miss. However, this film is ace!
