You don’t have to be a teen girl to love these funny, emotional rides.

My wife and I just watched “Summer of 69” and loved it. It’s funny and cringey in the best way, and captures that mix of insecurity and overconfidence in teenage years that we can all relate to. It made this list (keep reading to find out where it landed), and it also put me in the mood for other funny, female coming-of-age stories worth checking out. If you’re into movies that explore this messy, awkward, and chaotic time in life (that are also super relatable), these are seven of the best female teen movies you can stream right now.

Top 7 female coming-of-age comedies on streaming right now.

"Happy Gilmore 2" is coming to Netflix this summer, and thanks to a long history of underwhelming comedy sequels, it already has an uphill battle. Combine that with the fact that Adam Sandler's comedies for the past 20 years have been largely disappointing and, in many cases, downright awful, and our excitement probably isn't quite as high as we'd like it to be.

Even so, Netflix debuted a new trailer for the golf comedy sequel during its big Tudum presentation over the weekend, and it gave us a pretty good idea of Happy Gilmore's story this time around. He's getting back into golf after being out of the sport for a long time. There are also a bunch of callbacks to the original movie, maybe a little too many, making us worry that these are the best bits in the film. But there's one detail that was rather surprising, not to mention a little disappointing,...

Netflix has debuted the full official trailer for the upcoming, long-awaited Adam Sandler sequel ‘Happy Gilmore 2.’

Currently, the synopsis is extremely vague stating “Happy Gilmore returns”

Directed by Kyle Newacheck, the cast includes Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Ben Stiller, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, John Daly, Sadie Sandler, Sunny Sandler, Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutkosky, Philip Fine Schneider, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Travis Kelce, Blake Clark, Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Paige Spiranic.

Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore is hitting the green nearly three decades later to stage a golf comeback, and he’s bringing along a cavalcade of stars in the official trailer for Happy Gilmore 2.

“Even when you’re at the top of your game, you can always shank one,” the failed-hockey-player-turned-golf-pro says, setting the scene for the challenges ahead. In the sequel, Gilmore needs to raise $300,000 for his daughter’s (played by real life daughter Sunny Sandler) ballet school tuition, so he decides to take another swing at golf for the tournament cash.

The platform unveiled a new trailer for his much-anticipated sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, which puts the comedian back in the jersey of the titular former hockey player turned golf icon for the first time in almost 30 years. As seen in previous teasers, the film pulls Happy out of retirement to play the game he was made for once more, complete with a new caddie played by Bad Bunny and the same old rival in Christopher McDonald's Shooter McGavin. However, this latest look offers more insight as to why he's bringing his powerful slapshot back to the green.

Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore is back to swing for the fences — and, ideally, the green — again.

Nearly 30 years after he made his big-screen debut in 1996, Sandler’s beloved hockey-player-turned-professional-golfer is set to make his long-awaited, unlikely return in “Happy Gilmore 2.” Netflix released a brief teaser for the film back in March, but now the streamer has unveiled the first, full-length trailer for “Happy Gilmore 2” as part of its 2025 Tudum Live fan event.

In 1996, Adam Sandler changed the game — literally — with Happy Gilmore, a wild, foul-mouthed sports comedy about a failed hockey player who channels his rage into becoming an unlikely golf star. Armed with a slapshot swing and zero etiquette, Happy took on snobby country clubs, rival pros, and an alligator — and somehow made golf cool for a generation raised on slapstick and smack talk. The film became an instant cult classic, catapulting Sandler into leading man status and embedding lines like “The price is wrong, bitch” and “Just tap it in” into the comedy lexicon. Nearly 30 years later, Happy’s coming out of retirement. As part of Collider’s Exclusive Preview event, we spoke with director Kyle Newacheck about Happy Gilmore 2, which tees off on Netflix July 25, 2025.

With Sandler back in the lead — and co-writing alongside longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy — the sequel isn’t a nostalgia trip or a cheap gimmick.

It’s surprising that a YouTuber managed to integrate an Adam Sandler film into a Norse mythology video game. When God of War came out in 2018, it was overwhelmingly well-received. Many people made memes about how good of a father Kratos became to his son Atreus and praised the plot.

Kratos’s shout of “Boy” became famous, and it coincided with the arrival of several other well-known father figures, such as Joel from The Last of Us and Din Djarin from The Mandalorian. But it’s unlikely that anyone anticipated Kratos’s strong resemblance to Adam Sandler’s Sonny Koufax from the 1999 film Big Daddy.

Adam Sandler is best known for his slapstick comedies that do little to satisfy critics, but has, nonetheless, turned it into a brand. The actor has also surprised fans with small detours into dramatic territory with films like Spaceman, Uncut Gems, and Punch-Drunk Love. However, he has managed to balance his brand of comedies.

One of his earliest roles as an SNL alum was the comedy Airheads. Starring along with Brendan Fraser and Steve Buscemi, Sandler was the main draw due to his time on SNL. He reportedly used this clout to make sure the director cast Fraser, though he was a relative unknown at the time and was only known for Encino Man.

Adam Sandler’s daughter Sunny Sandler is now a movie star in her own right, but before she had a clear sense of how Hollywood works, she wasn’t thrilled about seeing her dad kiss actresses for his films.

Sandler appeared as a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday to promote his new Netflix animated feature, Leo, in which his daughters, Sadie and Sunny, join him in the voice cast. He and Hudson reminisced about co-starring together in Netflix’s 2017 title Sandy Wexler, with Hudson remembering that her son, David, who was 6 years old at the time, was confused as to why she was kissing her co-star in a scene.

After 2023’s earlier surprise comedic family gem You Are Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah, Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison Productions have done it again for Netflix, this time in the delightful and remarkably wise CGI animated feature Leo. It is a charmer for kids and their parents who get a few lessons here along the way as well.

Sandler voices 74-year-old Iguana, Leo, as if he were about to take the lectern at a Friar’s Roast. Leo has lived his whole life on display in a fifth grade classroom with revolving groups of kids since the 1940s. Next to him is Bff Squirtle, a fast talking turtle voiced memorably by Bill Burr. They are kind of the Bert and Ernie of the classroom, talking only to each other, and never revealing to the kids or teachers that they can actually converse with humans too. Leo, for whatever reason,...

Leo, the new Adam Sandler animated comedy, is a movie with an identity crisis. A sincere and sweet kids’ movie mashed up with a more subversive adult skewering of that genre, it’s funny and touching in parts but never adds up to a cohesive whole. It’s a fine distraction for family night, but never establishes its own identity.

Sandler dons a curmudgeonly voice as the titular character, a lizard who’s spent his entire life in a terrarium inside a fifth grade classroom. Old and jaded, Leo spends his days critiquing the kids and bemoaning the current state of parents and their children alongside his best friend, an equally cranky turtle named Squirtle, voiced by Bill Burr. When the 74-year-old Leo learns that he’s only one year away from the end of his anticipated lifespan, he plots an escape so that he can finally enjoy the high life in the Everglades.

“Leo” is a movie produced by Happy Madison Productions, which, as you may already know, is Adam Sandler‘s production company.

“Leo” embodies Sandler’s peculiar sense of humor, this time in a movie specifically designed for young ones, starring Leo, a 74-year-old talking lizard.

And if you haven’t guessed it already, it’s Adam Sandler himself who lends his voice to the lizard.

Leo Movie Review

“Leo” is one of those movies that have been created and designed with a clear purpose: to appeal to everyone. It is a product that aims to be enjoyable for all, easy to watch, and that, with a careful balance of humor, sentimentality, and catchy songs, will please the audience throughout the film’s hour and a half duration.

Leo

However, beyond that, it is forgettable because “Leo” is so classic and relies on so many pre-designed formulas that, in a way,...

Leo, the upcoming animated film on Netflix, sets high expectations as its stunning animation, thoughtful yet hilarious storyline and star-studded voice cast promise a great cinematic experience for audiences worldwide. Directed by David Wachtenheim, Robert Marianetti, and Robert Smigel, Netflix is all set to release Leo, featuring Adam Sandler, Bill Burr, and Cecily Strong as voice artists. An aging lizard named Leo is the protagonist of the story, which follows his journey to finding freedom and making friends along the way. The major dilemma of the story revolves around whether Leo will eventually achieve freedom, or he will discover freedom through connections with humans.

Leo shares thematic similarities with animated classics like Up, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Monsters, Inc. by exploring friendship, adventure, and self-discovery. Like Carl in Up, Leo goes on an unexpected journey, almost like the Toy Story series. Not only that, but Leo’s journey to...

Plot: Jaded 74-year-old lizard Leo (Sandler) has been stuck in the same Florida classroom for decades with his terrarium-mate turtle (Bill Burr). When he learns he only has one year left to live, he plans to escape to experience life on the outside but instead gets caught up in the problems of his anxious students — including an impossibly mean substitute teacher. It ends up being the strangest but most rewarding bucket list ever…

Review: The Happy Madison machine continues to chug along, and we can do nothing to stop it. From the first project Adam Sandler made under his deal with Netflix (the atrocious The Ridiculous 6), the output from the former SNL star’s production company has been mixed at best. But, nestled between the crap vanity projects, Sandler has developed some solid work, including Hustle and You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah. Happy Madison’s latest is the animated Leo,...

“Perhaps if people talked less, animals would talk more,” observes one of the human characters in “Charlotte’s Web,” a kiddie classic that serves as both the butt of several jokes and an inspiration for Adam Sandler’s animated “Leo,” an endearing Netflix original that strikes just the right balance between heart and fart jokes.

Basing the way Leo sounds on his squeaky-scratchy, slightly guttural impression of the late Hollywood agent Bernie Brillstein, Sandler voices a crusty old iguana who’s spent three-quarters of a century — practically his entire life — trapped in an elementary school classroom. Leo’s wisdom is largely limited to what’s taught in fifth grade, though he’s observed enough kids over his 74 years that the lizard reckons he’s qualified to advise this crop. Truth be told, he’s cheaper and more consistently helpful than your typical child psychologist.

Sandler’s an old pro when it comes to animation,...

The lessons in Netflix’s new animated coming-of-age musical Leo might be clichéd, but they are presented with enough heart to turn even the most cynical viewers into fans of the titular reptile.

Leo, voiced by Adam Sandler, is a lizard, and he’s lived in the same classroom for nearly 80 years. Hundreds of fifth-graders have walked through the halls of Fort Myer Elementary School, so there’s not much Leo hasn’t seen when it comes to angsty preteens and their anxious parents. Their aesthetics and preoccupations have changed — the most recent class of students are glued to their phones and no longer sporting mohawks — but their problems are largely the same. From his tank, which he shares with a turtle named Squirtle (Bill Burr), Leo observes each new batch of kids with a distant curiosity.

All of that shifts when Leo overhears an adult during parent-teacher conferences remarking on his age.

It’s a cool indie weekend when the new album by André 3000, New Blue Sun, has morphed into a “cinematic listening experience.” Variance Films is putting the experience, directed by Terence Nance, into three theaters in NYC (IFC Center), LA (Cinepolis Inglewood) and Atlanta (Tara).

Right now, it’s just those locations but after this weekend, “We will see what happens, where the wind takes us,” said Variance CEO Dylan Marchetti. “I swear, I wanted to make a ‘visual album’ but this is literally the way the wind blew me this time,” André has said.

Asked what’s is on the screen, Marchetti said, “Vibes.”

New Blue Sun, out today, is André’s debut solo album, his first full-length LP since his group Outkast released its last record 17 years ago. He described it as “an entirely instrumental album centered around woodwinds; a celebratory piece of work in the form of a living,...

In the film, Sandler stars as the titular 74-year-old lizard, who has shared a terrarium with a turtle named Squirtle (Bill Burr) in the same Florida classroom for decades.

Free the lizard!

Netflix animated “Leo” stars Adam Sandler as an elderly lizard living in a Florida classroom who decides to escape after being told he only has one year to live.

While the premise sounds endearingly wacky, writer-producer Sandler makes the animated film a family affair with daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler, plus wife Jackie Sandler, co-starring. Sunny Sandler recently led breakout Netflix teen film “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.”
