The Shocking Role: Sadie Sandler as Charlotte in Happy Gilmore 2
For months, speculation ran wild about whether Sadie and her sister, Sunny Sandler, would appear in the highly-anticipated sequel. The latest reports have not only confirmed their involvement but have also revealed Sadie’s specific character and her surprising place in the new storyline.
Sadie Sandler is officially cast as the character Charlotte.
The biggest reveal is Charlotte’s connection to Happy Gilmore himself. Charlotte is reportedly Happy's main ally at the Healing Alkies for Life (H.A.L.) alcohol treatment program.
This detail suggests a significant narrative shift for Happy Gilmore, indicating he may be struggling with alcoholism or another addiction issue that necessitates a stay at a treatment center. Charlotte’s role as an "ally" points to a supportive, pivotal character who helps Happy navigate this difficult new chapter in his life.
This is a stark contrast to the role of her younger sister, Sunny Sandler, who plays Vienna, Happy Gilmore’s on-screen daughter. The fact that both daughters are involved, but in two distinct and important roles—one as a family member and the other as a key ally in a rehabilitation setting—shows the sequel's commitment to giving the Sandler family meaningful screen time beyond just a cameo.
