Julie Bowen says Happy Gilmore 2 will avoid hurtful jokes in comedy shift

Julie Bowen has shared that the upcoming sequel to "Happy Gilmore" will avoid "targeted and hurtful" jokes, reflecting a shift in comedy standards since the original film's release in 1996. She noted that certain humor, once accepted, is now considered inappropriate. Despite this change, Bowen confirmed that Adam Sandler's character, Happy Gilmore, remains largely the same and still has his signature quirks. The sequel is currently in production, with Sandler spotted filming scenes in New Jersey. The cast includes Bowen reprising her role, along with Christopher McDonald and Bad Bunny. Travis Kelce is also expected to make a cameo. No release date for the film has been announced yet.
