Happy Gilmore 2 just hit Netflix on July 25, 2025, and Taylor Swift had a lot to say about it! While reviews have been a mixed bag, Adam Sandler fans are still turning up, and the “Shake It Off” singer is not one to go with traditional movie reviewers. Who cares about Rotten Tomatoes when Taylor Swift gave it a 13 out of 10? The pop superstar took to Instagram to gush over the movie, calling it an “absolute must-watch.”
She said she was cackling and cheering the whole time, and while her excitement might be influenced by her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s cameo, the hype train is undeniable! The celeb cameos include Eminem and Guy Fieri, making it a little bit of a star-studded film. But as we mentioned, not all reviews have said praises. The film is sitting at 61 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, with some praising the laughs and others complaining about the messy plot.
Even though not everyone is convinced, Happy Gilmore 2 is shaping up to be a fan favorite, just like the original. The sequel reunites Sandler with familiar faces like Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Ben Stiller nearly 30 years after the original. It might not be perfect, but with Taylor Swift’s endorsement and the nostalgic vibes, it’ll surely capture millions of viewers.
