The stars of "Happy Gilmore 2" hit the green carpet in New York to celebrate the film's upcoming release, in which Adam Sandler returns to the golf course as Happy Gilmore nearly 30 years after the original film.

“Happy Gilmore,” released in 1996, was Sander and Herlihy’s second movie, following “Billy Madison.” Sandler was just exiting “Saturday Night Live.” Herlihy was Sandler’s roommate at New York University and became a lawyer before Sandler got him to stick to writing comedy. (You might remember the “Herlihy Boy” sketch .)

The Netflix sequel filmed extensively in New Jersey, where some of the biggest stars in the world gathered to hang out with Sandler and company.
