Slim Shady got back into his acting bag with a small role that actually pays homage to the 1996 original, as he plays the son of Donald, who was the character portrayed by the late comedian Joe Flaherty.
From a touching Cameron Boyce tribute to Eminem’s wild heckle cameo, Happy Gilmore 2 is packed with blink-and-miss surprises and Sandler family madness.
It’s clear from the clip that footage from the original film was recycled, but it was a nice nod to Barker and the rest of the gang, and in lieu of The Price Is Right jokes, the new film opted to reference Jeopardy!, including a clip in which Vienna plays a clue reading by Ken Jennings out loud as players fail to guess Happy’s name.
Sandler co-wrote Happy Gilmore 2 and it’s clear he’s putting a lot of his own perspective into the movie. It’s a story about a former icon who is a beaten down, alcoholic mess surrounded by absent friends. Sandler’s aware of his age and seems to be injecting a cognizant sense of real mortality into the story of Happy Gilmore.
