‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Tees Up a Shocker on the First Hole
**SPOILER ALERT** KEY PLOT POINTS FOR “HAPPY GILMORE 2” ARE REVEALED BELOW*
Adam Sandler, who wrote the new movie alongside writing partner Tim Herlihy (they co-wrote the first film) shanks a shocker right at fans just minutes into the new movie when it’s revealed that Happy suffered a tragedy a decade ago.
The pro golfer’s tee shot hit wife and former pro golf tour director Virginia (Julie Bowen) and killed her. That leaves Happy alone with their five kids- four hapless sons and one beautiful daughter who dreams of being a ballet dancer.
The tragedy tanks Happy, who trades his golf clubs for a job as a supermarket stock boy.
But his daughter’s acceptance into the very expensive Paris Opera Ballet School is a game changer, forcing Happy back onto the green.
