If you're one of the many fans who are thrilled to see a sequel to Happy Gilmore, you might have Shooter McGavin to thank for it. Happy Gilmore 2 was released on Friday, with the sequel only appearing on Netflix as opposed to having a theater release.

Shooter McGavin is back and how! His redemption arc in 'Happy Gilmore 2' is surprising and pleasing fans in all the right ways.

Adam Sandler's freshly released sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, brings back the magic of the original film, and a big part of it lies in its music.

“Happy Gilmore,” released in 1996, was Sander and Herlihy’s second movie, following “Billy Madison.” Sandler was just exiting “Saturday Night Live.” Herlihy was Sandler’s roommate at New York University and became a lawyer before Sandler got him to stick to writing comedy. (You might remember the “Herlihy Boy” sketch .)

Without question, the followup isn’t as hilarious as the original. Who honestly expected it to be? And a good 20 minutes could have been trimmed. But “2” is warm and comfortable, features another untethered performance from Sandler that only he can give, and is less lazy than I feared.

Here is a list of notable cast members of "Happy Gilmore 2," from Sandler to Bad Bunny, Eminem and the host of celebrities and professional golfers set to make cameo appearances.

The stars open up about reuniting with Sandler for "Happy Gilmore 2” and how the sport continues to embrace the original film.

TIME spoke with Safdie about the long-awaited Adam Sandler sequel, buzz surrounding The Smashing Machine, and working with directing greats like Christopher Nolan.
