Piercing Ken Thoughts: As I shared some initial thoughts in the teaser trailer post, my mindset is pretty much the same since then. I did see the original “Happy Gilmore” a long, long, long time ago and found it to be very funny. This trailer looks like a lot of the same corny and dad joke humor but since its been so long since seeing the first film, I will need to review that before dedicating any time to the sequel. I probably should have left this editorial vibe to the forthcoming “now streaming” post but whatever. What did you folks out there in the readership think about it? Chime in down below in the comments and I will see you next time.
