It’s Adam Sandler’s fault you never see your partner on the weekends any more. The comedian is largely responsible for millions of men discovering golf via his 1996 film, Happy Gilmore. The flick was a cult hit, putting the sedate sport firmly on the radars of young men around the world, who have now aged into the demographic that pop on their polos and hit the fairway for hours on end — much to the chagrin of their other halves.
Bad news: a whole new generation could well get sucked in now that Sandler’s film is getting a sequel.
Thirty years in the making, it sees the comedian return to play his titular character, the short-tempered ex-hockey player who discovers he has a latent talent for golf. Ben Stiller is also back reprising his role, along with Christopher McDonald as pro-golfer Shooter McGavin and Julie Bowen as Gilmore’s love interest, Virginia Venit.
If you’ve seen the trailer, then you’ll know we’re likely in for lots of fun, though plot specifics are still a closely guarded secret. What we do know is that Gilmore is headed back to the circuit to try to raise some much-needed cash, and he’s got a brand-new rookie caddy along with him for the ride.
In good news for golf fans, some familiar faces from the sport pop up. Joining the roster are John Daly, Paige Spiranac, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris, who all make cameos. None of these people mean much to me, but if you’re across the game, you’ll probably be getting excited.
This could either be the best thing you see this year or the worst — there is no middle ground with Adam Sandler, and that’s why we love him.
I’ve never been much of a fan of the Piano Man — I’ve always found him pompous and a little smug. But after dipping into this expansive two-part doco, I have a new appreciation of the six-time Grammy-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. I’m a tad embarrassed that I wrote him off without knowing much about where he came from and how he got to the top. This sheds some light via home movies, photos and intimate one-on-one chats — what a life he has lived.
Want to feel soul-crushingly depressed? Watch this! OK, that’s a bit unfair — comedian Mark Humphries’ deep dive into why so many Australians are struggling to secure home ownership is well worth a watch. But, honestly, it will leave you raging. Hopefully someone important watches this and legislates change — fingers crossed (though that is hard to do when you’re hiding behind them grimacing at a TV screen).
Before there was Kourtney, Khloe and Kim, there were the infamous Mitford sisters, women every bit as trailblazing, scandalous and fascinating as their modern equivalents. These real-life figures are the focus of this period drama “set against a backdrop of glamour, political upheaval and social change”. Starring Bessie Carter as Nancy (my fave sister), this has been getting heaps of great reviews — pop it on your watch list and be prepared to be outraged!
This series is all about a middle-aged ex-assassin called Julie, played by British screen star Keeley Hawes, and hello — relatable much? She’s living out her retirement on a Greek island when she’s thrust back into her old world after a catch-up with her estranged son, played by The Good Doctor’s Freddie Highmore, goes horribly awry. Telling you more would be to spoil the show’s fantastic premise. Can’t wait for you to see this one.
