The sequel movie sees Happy and Virgina have four boys who are known as Wayne, Gordie, Bobby and Terry.
As it's a film all about golf, it would be remiss if it didn't feature one or two professional golfers, but rather than just a few, Happy Gilmore 2 had a whole host of golfers take their cameo moment in the film.
The movie also features a huge number of recognisable names including actors that frequently appear in other Adam Sandler movies, and some surprising faces too, including Travis Kelce and Eminem, who are playing characters rather than themselves.
And then there are a few select celebrities playing themselves in cameo roles too, did you spot all of them?

Where Was ‘My Oxford Year' Filmed?
My Oxford Year has officially arrived on Netflix, starring Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest. The film, based on Julia Whelan's book of the same title, sees ambitious American student Anna (Sofia) jet off to the UK for a year at Oxford University. There, she meets Jamie (Corey), a charming British student teacher, and the encounter changes both their lives. The university acts as the main backdrop for the story, but is it actually filmed in Oxford? Here's everything you need to know. Viewers will be happy to hear that My Oxford Year was actually filmed in Oxford. Some of the university scenes were filmed on location, at Oxford University. Specifically, filming took pklace at Magdalen College, which is one of the constituent colleges that make up the university. The official name of the college is: The President and Scholars of the College of St. Mary Magdalen in the University of Oxford. Other filming locations included St Hugh's College and Hertford College, which are both based in Oxford, while additional scenes were filmed in Windsor. 'It was an honor and joy to dive into Anna's world of dreams, of love, of poetry. To study the great poets that walked the halls of Oxford, and who have since filled our lives with the magic of literature. In 1833, Alfred Tennyson wrote, 'It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.' Two hundred years after Tennyson so beautifully uttered those words, they ring truer than ever—in the halls of Oxford, and within the heart of our film,' Sofia told Netflix's Tudum. 'I have a friend that studied for uni in Oxford, and so there was a period of my life where I was going up and getting the train to Oxford quite frequently,' Corey added. My Oxford Year is available to stream on Netflix.
