Happy Gilmore is not too good for its new home, as the 1996 classic comedy from Adam Sandler is heading to Tubi from next month, December 1, in news that should delight those keen to get another viewing of the movie in, before the eagerly anticipated sequel birdies its way onto Netflix in 2025. Sandler of course is reprising his role as the titular character, Happy Gilmore.
Ben Stiller is Reprising His Role From 'Happy Gilmore' When the sequel arrives, one other star reprising their role from the original film is Ben Stiller, who played the psychotic Hal L., one of the wardens of the retirement community populated by Happy's beloved Grandma. Speaking to Collider's Steve Weintraub last week, Stiller explained how he couldn't say no to the role:
Stiller also added that his long relationship with Sandler was the main reason for him doing the role again, mixed with the fact that it's just great fun to play a character who is nothing short of detestable."I love Adam. He's a dear friend," Stiller continued."And the opportunity to do that guy is just so much fun because he has no redeeming characteristics. I think he's a good person inside. I think he's misunderstood. It bothers him that everybody loves Happy.
