Taylor Swift Gives Happy Gilmore 2 a 13/10 Rating — Here’s Why It’s a Must-Watch
Happy Gilmore 2, the long-awaited Netflix sequel to the 1996 Adam Sandler classic, officially dropped on July 25, 2025.
Taylor Swift, via her Instagram Story to her 280 million followers, hailed the movie as an “absolute must-watch,” rating it a gleeful 13/10 and urging fans to “watch on Netflix as soon as humanly possible,” accompanied by a honey pot emoji.
That honey pot emoji playfully nods to a memorable cameo scene involving her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, whose character has a comedic honey-and-bear-themed moment with Bad Bunny’s character.
The film brings back iconic faces from the original, including Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Ben Stiller, and mixes in celebrity cameos across athletics and media to amp up the nostalgic appeal.
Co-star and NFL legend Travis Kelce is specifically praised by Sandler at the film’s premiere, with Sandler calling him a “gentle, funny guy” who surprised many with his on-screen presence alongside Bad Bunny.
Critical reviews are mixed: some applaud its nostalgic humor and heartfelt themes, while others feel it leans too heavily on callbacks and celebrity cameos at the expense of fresh storytelling.
