Adam Sandler can't resist casting his nepo daughters! Teens Sunny and Sadie have starring roles in the new Happy Gilmore 2 - and have appeared in at least 20 of the actor's films
Adam Sandler delighted fans with the recent release of Happy Gilmore 2, but he wasn't the only Sandler entertaining viewers. The American actor's two daughters with his wife, Jackie, Sadie, 19, and Sunny, 16, were also stars of the new Netflix comedy film, which followed the golfer's life after his Tour Championship win. However, it's far from the their first time on a film set, because the two have starred in many of their father's much-loved productions. It's not just recent roles either. The pair have collaborated with their father from a very young age, with Sadie appearing in the 2008 film Don't Mess with the Zohan at two years old. Throughout their childhood, the duo has gone on to star in tens of their father's films, including Grown Ups, Hotel Transylvania, and Jack and Jill. In the second Happy Gilmore film, Adam's children took centre stage, with Sadie playing Charlotte, a woman Happy meets in a group therapy session, and his youngest playing his on-screen daughter, Charlotte Gilmore. However, Sunny and Sadie didn't always secure such high-flying roles, and they have previously made such small cameos that even the die-hard Sandler fans might struggle to spot them. Here, Femail delves into the very starry careers of Sunny and Sadie at just 16 and 19 years old. Adam Sandler isn't the only star in his family, and his daughters, Sadie and Sunny Sandler, are becoming breakout stars in their own right, thanks to their father casting them in many of his most famous productions (pictured: Sunny in You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah) 19-year-old Sadie hasn't experienced a typical childhood, and she made her first film debut as a toddler in her father's 2008 movie, Don't Mess with the Zohan, where she played the Girl Riding On Goat. Then, she starred as the Sweetest Medieval Girl of All Time in 2008's Bedtime Stories and was Tardio's daughter in Grown Ups. In 2011's smash hit comedy Just Go with It, with Jennifer Aniston, Sadie played a girl on the rope bridge. That same year, she starred as the little girl on the ship in the comedy film Jack and Jill. In 2012, she undertook the role of the lemonade stand kid in That's My Boy and voiced young Mavis in Hotel Transylvania, which included Selena Gomez as the teen Mavis. One year later, she played Sadie Tardio in Grown Ups 2, and the year after, she was a little league announcer in Blended. In 2015, she starred in three major film productions: Pixels, Hotel Transylvania 2 and The Ridiculous 6. After that, she was in The Do-Over, Sandy Wexler, The Week Of, and Hotel Transylvania 3 over the next few years. Sunny Sandler (seen in You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah) has worked with her father since she was a toddler Sunny took on the role of her her father's on-screen daughter, Charlotte Gilmore, in Happy Gilmore 2 (pictured) The 19-year-old starred as Charlotte in her father's recent Netflix hit - Happy Gilmore 2 (pictured) In 2019, she worked alongside her father and Jennifer Aniston in Murder Mystery as Summer.

In a recent film, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, she took on a bigger role as Ronnie Friedman before voicing a character in the 2023 film Leo and starring in Happy Gilmore 2. Meanwhile, her younger sister Sunny has also taken on a slew of impressive acting roles from a young age. Adam and Jackie Sandler welcomed Sunny into the world on November 2, 2008 - five months after Sadie made her big screen debut. Two years later, Sunny made her debut in the 2010 blockbuster Grown Ups as Tardio's daughter and has since added over a dozen film credits. In 2011, Sunny appeared alongside her older sister in Just Go with It as part of the family who appeared on the rope bridge, and in Jack and Jill as a little girl. A few years later, the 16-year-old starred in That's My Boy, Grown Ups 2, Blended and lent her voice to Hotel Transylvania.

The world of golf is also well-represented, with a number of prominent golf players in the film. They include Paige Spiranac, John Daly, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, among others. Professional wrestling fans will also be pleased to see cameos from stars such as Nikki Bella, Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Becky Lynch. Elsewhere, Adam Sandler fans are also only just finding out that he has starred alongside his wife Jackie Sandler in over 20 of his films. The Uncut Gems actor, 58, has made a conscious effort to appear alongside his other half over the past two decades, with many cinemagoers keeping an eye out for her cameos, which they've likened to Easter eggs. Jackie, 50, has appeared in several of Adam's movies, including 50 First Dates (2004), where she played a dentist, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007), in which she was a teacher, and Grown Ups (2010), where she played Richie Minervini's on-screen wife. Despite frequently having to watch Adam kiss other women on set, the producer insists his wife doesn't get jealous of his on-screen romances. 'The only awkward part is hearing my wife on the side going, "Harder! Harder! Kiss her harder! Deeper," he told the Associated Press in 2019, while promoting his hit Netflix film, Murder Mystery, which he starred in alongside Jennifer Aniston.

‘Housefull 5' Is Fifth Highest-Grossing Film Worldwide This Weekend
The new Hindi film 'Housefull 5' released in theatres with two different climax sequences. The latest Hindi release, Housefull 5, ranked among the top five highest-grossing films worldwide this week. Headlined by Akshay Kumar, the comedy film earned nearly $16.5 million over the weekend ending June 8, Comscore reported. Akshay Kumar stars in the film alongside Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Bajwa, Sanjay Dutt, Nargis Fakhri and Jacqueline Fernandez. Tarun Mansukhani's Housefull 5 became the fifth highest-scoring film worldwide for this weekend, earning a three-day total of $16.5 million. Another Indian film - Thug Life - made it among top ten highest-grossing films for the week at the global box office. Mani Ratnam's Tamil movie scored $4.5 million worldwide to become eighth highest-grossing film for the weekend ending June 8. Living up to trade expectations, Housefull 5 saw an impressive collection at the ticket windows on Friday, its first day at the box office. The film earned $4.6 million at the global box office on June 6. The collections rose significantly on Saturday and Sunday. It crossed $6 million on both days. In the US markets alone, the film made more than $1 million and ranked twelfth among top-scoring films over the weekend. Housefull 5 is already the sixth highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025. In Indian markets, Housefull 5 made an opening collection of $3.3 million and earned $4.5 million and $4.9 million on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Tarun Mansukhani have co-written the film which revolves around a billionaire and his will. Ranjeet reprises his role of Papa Ranjit and plays the rich old man in the fifth instalment of Housefull. Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan and Akshay Kumar essay the roles of men posing as Ranjit's son to inherit his business empire. Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Sanjay Dutt, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, Dino Morea, and Fardeen Khan also play important roles in the film. The movie is quite true to its world - a world full of slapstick comedy, unfunny jokes, and vulgar and suggestive dialogues. Neither is the story of Housefull 5 any more rational than its predecessors, nor is it any more vulgar or crude. Mansukhani's Housefull 5 relies on cleavages, and judgmental attitude to trigger all the laughs. The kind of laughter you may cherish only if you are a franchise fan. The temporary memory loss used as a stimulant for chaotic turn of events may remind audiences of The Hangover. However, the execution thereafter is nowhere close. The suspense of a murder mystery offers bits and pieces of intriguing moments, but the overall experience is dampened by the lack of a better comedy blend. The presence of actors such as Nana Patekar adds to the performance score of the film which also benefits from the filmmaker's tributes to old Bollywood films. From Akshay Kumar's rivalry with a parrot (Housefull, 2010) to the slaps he gets from a monkey (Housefull, 2010) and the iconic Bollywood anti-hero from the 90s (Dutt's Khalnayak), there's a bit for all kinds of Bollywood movie buffs to enjoy some nostalgia. The Housefull journey began in 2010 with Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone headlining Sajid Khan's film. The film opened to wide criticism but managed to post a good box office score. The second instalment came in 2012 and the third one hit theatres in 2016. In 2019, the Housefull 3 was released.
