Taylor Swift has given her seal of approval to Netflix’s newly dropped Happy Gilmore 2, practically demanding her fans clear their weekend schedules for Adam Sandler’s long-awaited sequel. The pop superstar took to social media with glowing praise for the comedy that’s already making waves across streaming platforms.
Swift’s Glowing Social Media Endorsement
Friday brought Swift’s enthusiastic Instagram story review, where she didn’t hold back her excitement about the sequel. She slapped a perfect “13/10” rating on the film, describing it as a guaranteed laugh-out-loud experience that had her genuinely cracking up. Posting alongside the movie poster and adding a honey emoji for good measure, Swift labeled it an “absolute must watch” while practically shouting at followers to fire up Netflix immediately.
Travis Kelce’s Unexpected Screen Time and A-List Cameos
The film serves up a delightful surprise with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce making an appearance—who just happens to be Swift’s romantic partner. While Swift kept the specifics under wraps in her post, her playful hints suggested fans are in for quite the treat when they spot him. The cameo roster reads like a who’s who of entertainment, featuring everyone from Eminem and Post Malone to Bad Bunny, Eric André, and Margaret Qualley.
Adam Sandler’s Take on Kelce’s Natural Comedy Chops
Sandler himself couldn’t stop gushing about Kelce’s performance during a chat with Entertainment Tonight. The comedy veteran described the NFL star as “gentle, funny as hell, and one of the guys,” comparing their on-set dynamic to hanging with childhood buddies from the neighborhood. Sandler was particularly struck by Kelce’s effortless humor and genuine likability—qualities that apparently translated seamlessly to the big screen.
The Long-Awaited Sequel Details
Nearly thirty years have passed since the original 1996 cult classic, which followed Happy Gilmore (Sandler) as he traded hockey skates for golf cleats in a desperate career pivot. True to form, Happy’s explosive temper remains his biggest obstacle on the greens. Fan favorites are back for round two: Julie Bowen returns as love interest Virginia Venit, Christopher McDonald reprises his role as the villainous Shooter McGavin, and Ben Stiller slides back into character as Hal.
Early Critical Buzz
Rolling Stone’s review highlighted the sequel’s surprising effectiveness, pointing to the magnetic pull of nostalgia combined with Sandler’s trademark slapstick genius. The publication particularly noted how the film mines comedy gold from golf’s inherent absurdities, delivering the kind of physical humor that made the original such a memorable ride.
