Adam Sandler’s Daughters Shine inHappy Gilmore 2
So here's something that’s both heartwarming and kind of full-circle—Adam Sandler’s daughters, Sadie and Sunny, are back on screen, this time with roles in Happy Gilmore 2 , which just dropped on Netflix. And honestly, if you're a fan of Sandler’s movies or just love seeing a family work together in showbiz, this one's going to feel extra special.
Adam Sandler, now 58, is reprising his iconic role as Happy Gilmore almost 30 years after the original film came out. But what’s really catching attention is that this time, his real-life daughters are in on the action too. Sadie, who’s now 19, plays a character named Charlotte. Sunny, the younger of the two at 16, takes on the role of Happy’s daughter, Vienna. And yes—Jackie Sandler, Adam’s wife of over two decades, is also in the film. It's practically a family reunion on set.

The girls aren’t exactly new to acting either. They’ve been popping up in their dad’s films for years—titles like You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah , Leo , Hubie Halloween , and Murder Mystery are all part of their growing resume. But this time feels a bit different because of how much more involved they are in the storytelling.
And let’s talk about those viral moments. Remember that bat mitzvah video that exploded on TikTok in 2022? That was Sunny’s. It was a full-on star-studded event with performances by Charlie Puth and Halsey. Then, later that year, both girls wrote their dad’s acceptance speech for the Gotham Awards. Sandler joked about it on stage, saying he was just happy they were doing something other than scrolling YouTube or shopping at Lululemon all weekend. Classic dad moment.
In a recent chat with USA TODAY , Sandler opened up about how proud he is of his daughters and how natural it feels to have them involved in the work. He mentioned how they’ve really leaned into acting, even going to school for it, and how it's been a long-standing tradition for him to work with close friends and family. He said, "They work hard and they love it… so yeah, I’m just proud. Couldn’t love them more."
As for the movie itself— Happy Gilmore 2 follows Happy as he tries to raise money for his daughter’s ballet school in Paris. To do it, he picks up his golf clubs again and reenters the competitive world he once dominated. Oh, and Shooter McGavin’s back too. It’s a nostalgic comeback with a new generation twist, and the Sandler family makes it even more fun to watch.
It’s really something to see a career come full circle like this—especially when the next generation is already stepping up to the tee.
