Audiences nationwide can experience this comedy classic on the big screen during special screenings on April 27 and April 30. In Happy Gilmore, Sandler stars as the titular character, an aspiring hockey player with a powerful slapshot who can neither skate nor control his volatile temper. When the Internal Revenue Service repossesses his grandmother's house, Happy resolves to earn enough money to settle her debts and reclaim her home. After discovering his golf swing can drive balls an extraordinary 400 feet, Happy quickly becomes an unlikely star on the PGA tour, despite his poor putting skills and frequent explosive outbursts that antagonize his more traditional competitors.

Sandler, McDonald, and Bowen are back, and joined by Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, Travis Kelce, Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutowsky, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Philip Fine Schneider, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Will Zalatoris, Ben Stiller, Blake Clark, Paige Spiranac, Sunny Sandler, Sadie Sandler, and John Daly.
