I’ve decided to stick to the program of continuing to help out the release of the “Happy Gilmore 2” film which premieres today on the Netflix streaming service. It’s been a forever since I last saw the first film which I believe is more than thirty years ago but I digress. When we last “met” for this one it was for the Official Trailer and if you missed that post just click the hyperlinked text to review it before we continue along.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Hey so here I am again with some editorial footnotes. Considering its been so long since I saw the original release I can state that I won’t be watching this new film anytime soon. I’d like to review the first one again before diving into it. The trailers do look funny at back then Adam Sandler was a staple of films of this kind and he became quite popular from them. Wrapping up I wonder if you will be tuning in or do you even care. Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you again soon.
