There are so many great comedy films from Adam Sandler to choose from but “Happy Gilmore” is probably his biggest hit of the bunch. Now it’s not the kind of film that one would expect a sequel being done for but nowadays such a practice is commonplace. This leads me to the news that a sequel is indeed coming and to Netflix who just dropped the teaser clip. Check that out down below along with a basic premise and casting.
The Premise: Twenty-nine years after winning his first Tour Championship, retired golfer Happy Gilmore returns to the sport to pay for his daughter Vienna’s ballet school (c/o Wiki).

Piercing Ken Thoughts: While I always love a good comedy, and many of the Adam Sandler output, I cannot say when the last time that I saw “Happy Gilmore” was. I tend to lean on the more action-packed superhero films more than this kind of stuff so while the teaser trailer looks like fun I’ll need to refresh myself with the original film first. Now I always say I will not be long-winded on teaser posts and that makes me say “fare thee well” for the time being and wonder what you think about the clip and the notion that “Happy Gilmore 2” is being released. Are you excited? Do you even care? Chime in down below and I shall see you again soon. Cheers.
