The new murder mystery from Netflix has earned a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. Netflix is one of the biggest global streaming services, and while they also boast a vast library of licensed titles, they are best known for their original movies and television series.
Netflix movies have come in a wide variety of genres, including action (Red Notice), horror (Bird Box), and musical (KPop Demon Hunters), but several of their best-known original films are murder mysteries. This includes the Daniel Craig whodunit Glass Onion, the Adam Sandler comedy Murder Mystery (which earned a sequel in 2023), and their new adaptation of a bestseller.

Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2 just landed on Netflix last month, bringing back the iconic foul-mouthed golfer. The sequel has caught attention with a massive star-studded cameos and a surprise return of Shooter McGavin. But while Happy Gilmore 2 grabs headlines, some of Sandler’s best and most overlooked comedies are already sitting on Netflix.
His multi-film Netflix deal has produced a wide range of titles, from family animation to ensemble comedies. While his dramatic performances in Uncut Gems and The Meyerowitz Stories have earned critical praise, it’s his low-key comedies that still win over longtime fans.

Terence Stamp, the British actor who brought cut-glass sophistication to every role he played, has died. Stamp was best known for starring in Superman II, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and The Limey. Stamp passed away this morning at the age of 87.
Terence Henry Stamp was born in London, England on July 22, 1938. As an aspiring actor, he lived with Michael Caine; they were both up for the title role in Alfie, but Caine ultimately landed it, launching his career. Stamp ended up making his film debut in Peter Ustinov's adaptation of Herman Melville's Billy Budd. Although the film wasn't well-reviewed, Stamp's performance in the title role was acclaimed, earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He appeared in a number of films emblematic of the "Swinging London" of the 1960s, including The Collector, Modesty Blaise, and Far From the Madding Crowd. In the 1970s,...

Knives Out fans, get ready for another round of clever sleuthing – Netflix is dropping The Thursday Murder Club on August 28, 2025. Based on the hit novel by Richard Osman, this one swaps eccentric detectives for four witty retirees living in a quiet English village. Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Ron (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley), and Joyce (Celia Imrie) normally spend their time digging into old cold cases, until a real murder lands right on their doorstep.
Directed by Chris Columbus and written with Katy Brand and Suzanne Heathcote, the movie walks the line between dry humor, tender moments, and a mystery worth chasing. With Netflix teaming up with Amblin and Columbus calling “the finest cast I’ve worked with since Potter,” this isn’t just a one-off (via Netflix). Osman’s novels already lay out a full series blueprint – the streaming service just needs to follow it.

Adam Sandler can do very little wrong when it comes to his run of Netflix movies, as even if not everyone likes them, millions still tune in to watch them. His long-awaited return as Happy Gilmore, in the imaginatively titled Happy Gilmore 2, is no exception to the rule. With a mixed set of reviews from critics, and only slightly better reaction from audiences, Sandler has still been breaking records.
Happy Gilmore 2 is certainly not one of the most disastrous Adam Sandler movies to land on Netflix in the last several years, and managed to scrape a fresh rating from the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer (on 64% at the time of writing). Audiences were a little happier with Happy, but the 70% score on the Popcornmeter is nowhere near the 85% of the 1996 original movie.

"Happy Gilmore 2" is out now on Netflix, and within the first few minutes of starting the sports comedy sequel starring Adam Sandler, you may have found yourself picking your jaw up from the ground after a devastating, shocking twist that nobody saw coming. Well, some of us saw it coming, but we certainly didn't see it happening in such a dark, distasteful fashion.

Adam Sandler reprises his role as the volatile hockey player-turned-golfer in Happy Gilmore 2, a sequel that arrives nearly three decades after the original film established itself as a cultural touchstone. The 1996 movie changed the perception of golf for a generation, transforming it from a staid sport into a chaotic battleground and cementing Sandler’s comedic formula of the lovable, blue-collar man-child. Produced by Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions for Netflix, the film marks the first direct sequel to any of Sandler’s classic 1990s comedies, a notable decision for an actor who, for years, dismissed the idea. The sequel finds its purpose not in simple repetition, but in exploring...

"Happy Gilmore" is one of those enduring comedies that has stood the test of time. While it may not have been a massive blockbuster hit at the box office, it found quite an audience on home video, especially as Adam Sandler's star continued to rise with the likes of his best comedies like "The Wedding Singer" and "Big Daddy." It's a simple, grounded sports comedy that was the perfect outlet for Sandler's unique comedic sensibilities, letting him be both charming and hilariously angry while shaking up the classic institution of golf. Following in the footsteps of movies like "Caddyshack" and "National Lampoon's Animal House," it was the perfect successor in the slobs vs snobs comedic formula that frequently worked so well.

Why now, nearly three decades later? “Adam’s very aware of his characters and very aware of the culture,” director Kyle Newacheck tells Tudum. “There’s been a wave of golf [popularity], so it feels like the movie is timely, just like it did in ’96. I remember asking him and him just saying, ‘It never felt like the exact right time until now.’ ”

The director of Happy Gilmore 2 has revealed what Adam Sandler movie he would like to make a sequel to next. Although he is best known for feature-length comedies, Sandler got his start as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, which was a stint that ran from 1990 to 1995.
Two early Adam Sandler movies were his key to finding big screen success. The first was 1995's Billy Madison, in which he played a man who has 24 weeks to graduate grades 1 through 12, and the second was 1996's Happy Gilmore, in which he played a vulgar hockey player who becomes a golf sensation.
From there, he went on to star in a number of prominent movies, including the rom-coms 50 First Dates and The Wedding Singer, the dramas Uncut Gems and Hustle, and the Netflix comedies Murder Mystery, Murder Mystery 2, Hubie Halloween, and You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.

Happy Gilmore fans who have been waiting for the opportunity to channel their inner Happy are in luck. In tune with Netflix's release of the anticipated sequel to the 1996 cult classic, Callaway will release a limited-edition Odyssey Hockey Stick Putter in the shape of a hockey stick, a nod to the titular character's unconventional golf style. This release, alongside some themed golf balls from the golf equipment company, is perfectly timed for Happy Gilmore 2's debut on July 25.
Adam Sandler's Happy, famously a hockey player before his golfing career, brought his aggressive approach to the greens, often using a hockey stick as a putter. The new black and gold hockey stick putter directly references this questionable choice, complete with a design that honors Happy's favorite sports team, the Boston Bruins (the jersey frequently donned on the golf course); the handle is inscribed with Happy Gilmore.

Nearly three decades after Happy Gilmore landed in theaters, a sequel to the golf comedy will land on Netflix. Alongside Adam Sandler as the titular character, Julie Bowen will return for the anticipated Happy Gilmore 2 as Virginia, a fan-favorite character that she initially thought she would not be able to play again in the streaming sequel.
During a conversation on the Inside of You podcast, Bowen shared that she was surprised to be called back to reprise her role.
"I didn't think they'd bring me back at all. I mean, who am I supposed to be? He's got to have a younger woman in this one, 'Happy Gilmore 2.'"
Bowen famously portrayed Virginia Venit in the 1996 original, a public relations director for the professional golf tour that Happy joins. She recalled the audition process, sharing that the casting team was "visibly relieved" by her more grounded approach to Virginia.

Julie Bowen is more than happy to be reprising one of her her roles 30 years later for the upcoming sequel “Happy Gilmore 2.” Bowen starred in the 1996 original film as Virginia Venit, a representative for the professional golf tour that Adam Sandler’s titular character joins on a whim. Virginia (Bowen) is also the romantic interest of Happy (Sandler).
When it came to the long-awaited sequel, though, Bowen was shocked to be asked to return. “I didn’t think they’d bring me back at all,” Bowen said during the “Inside of You” podcast, as reported by Variety. “I mean, who am I supposed to be?

It’s been almost 30 years since Happy Gilmore’s unforgettable antics at the Tour Championship in 1996, including doing the bull dance, fighting with Bob Barker and sinking a seemingly impossible putt, thanks to his instructor Chubbs. The original Happy Gilmore is such a beloved film from the 90s, and Adam Sandler is definitely feeling the pressure for the sequel to live up to the first movie. “It’s on your mind,” Sandler said. “We’ve got a lot of good stuff, and we just want to make sure that it all comes together and keeps it going from start to finish, and that’s the goal. We’ll see. We’re definitely nervous, but we feel some sort of confidence.“

Big franchise releases are just around the corner for the summer movie season and two anticipated films for fans are the reboot to the most famous superhero of all-time and the sequel to one of the most beloved comedies ever made.
