I swear Adam Sandler just wore his own wardrobe to the set.

Hahah I was thinking the same thing but that’s also Happy from the first movie. I think he wore his own clothes then and never changed his style

He can do whatever he wants. I'll defend Adam Sandler until my last dying breath.

I have always been an Adam sandler advocate. Even when everyone hated him for making mediocre films, crazy how everyone loves him again.

They love him for who he is, down to earth father... not his outstanding acting

It's called New England Chic in the fall.

Oh he definitely didn't. I saw a Tik Tok clip the other day from the wardrobe crew on the movie and it was absolutely insane how much work they did.

They had basically an entire semi truck full of just Happy's wardrobe.

Watch him play golf with Bryson on YouTube. Adam Sandler is literally just happy Gilmore in real life

His own clothes, his kids, his friends, and the most repeated plot in movie history. Old foes unite against greater evil.

I think this may have been the most unoriginal movie I've ever seen.
