If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably watched dozens of Adam Sandler movies without realizing that two of his most frequent co-stars are actually his real-life daughters. That’s right! Sadie and Sunny Sandler have been popping up in their dad’s films for years, quietly building their own Hollywood resumes with each project.
In fact, they star in Sandler's latest movie Happy Gilmore 2. The long-awaited sequel was just released on Netflix, and it's got everyone talking. The original film, Happy Gilmore, was released in 1996, so it's been nearly three decades since we last saw the hot-headed golfer in action.
In the new sports comedy flick, Happy is older, rougher around the edges, and hasn't been on a golf course in a long time. But that all changes when his daughter Vienna, played by Sunny, dreams of attending an expensive ballet school in Paris. Determined to support her ambitions, Happy dusts off his golf clubs and steps back into the competitive world he left behind. Sadie plays the role of Charlotte in the film.
