Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, where we ask the question “has Hollywood run out of ideas?”
Our Mondo-sized Happy Gilmore 2-parter ends with the 2025 Netflix sequel.
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025)
IMDB Description: Revisit Happy Gilmore's golf career after his win in the Tour Championship.
Rotten Tomatoes: Happy Gilmore was at the top of his game — until a stroke of bad luck changed everything. Can golf's onetime bad boy make a comeback fit for a legend?
***
On each episode we’ll look at a movie and its remake, or sometimes a movie and its sequel, to determine if Hollywood rehashed it for a reason or for a cash grab.
