How sad is this?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Yes you read that right, Adam Sandler's best, well in my opinion, it was extremely funny, unlike other Adam Sandler movies, the story was also really well crafted and paced, and even his grandmother had a rather funny sub-plot in the nursing home. final verdict:amazing if you're in the mood for a great comedy, or just want a really good laugh.

Happy Gilmore is a great movie. It's a great movie for many reasons, the plot is fantastic, the script is awesome and Adam Sandler is hysterical. The 1996 film starring Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Carl Weathers is a classic. Directed by Dennis Dugan, it is one of his bests along with other films like Big Daddy, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, You Don't Mess with the Zohan, both Grown Ups 1 and 2, Just Go with It and Jack and Jill. Being produced by Robert Simonds, this is also one of his best known films. Other notable films produced by Simmonds are Cheaper by the Dozen and The Pink Panther, This Means War and Big Daddy. Happy Gilmore is a rejected hockey player with a really hard slap shot. He gets cut from the same team every year but still tries out. He finds out that his grandma, who raised him as a child, house is being evicted. While playing around with some golf clubs he learns he can drive a golf ball really far. With help from his friend and trainer, Chubbs, he works his way up to the PGA tour in hopes to win enough money to get his grandma's house back. His antics attract an unusual crowd to the PGA tour which is good for business but other top golfers like Shooter McGavin think he's an embarrassment. Making $41.20 million dollars, Happy Gilmore is another one of Adam Sandler's best movies. The comedy was rated 7/10 of IMDb which is lower than what I believe it should be. I would rate the movie 8.5/10. 30 year old Adam Sandler is hilarious in this film and the acting over all is very good. Another reason I love this movie is because I think they did an awesome job attracting all audiences, I watch this movie with my family all the time. It attracts people of all ages. My younger cousins and my grandma and grandpa both love this movie as well. Over all, this movie is a classic. It has a very funny plot that is easy to follow for everyone. The actors assisting Sandler do a great job supporting him throughout the film. There are many hilarious scenes and quotes from Happy Gilmore. Most people have seen the movie already, but if you have not you definitely should soon.

Adam Sandler, whether you love him or hate him, he still makes movies and this one is arguably his best. He crossed the blue-blooded traditions of golf with the rabid, blue-collared style of hockey, and brings about a comedy that is still loved to this day.Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) is a failed hockey player who has a sweet heart but a short temper. That, and a slapshot that could send a puck through 6 inches of Kevlar. While his grandmother's house has been repossessed by the IRS, But in his words "A house my grandfather built with his bare hands." Happy learns that his mean slapshot translates into a 400+ yard golf drive, something that has never been seen before. With a few strokes of luck, Happy gets an opportunity to get his grandmother's house back by joining the golf tour, With the support of tour coordinator Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen) and legendary golf pro Chubbs Peterson (Carl Weathers) but he's got a rival in Shooter McGavin (Christopher MacDonald) the leading money winner who has never won a gold jacket, as well as a lifelong enemy in Price is Right gameshow host, Bob Barker. Now this movie is downright hilarious. From Happy's antics on the golf course, to his unbelievable showdown with Bob Barker, It is a riot of laughter and humor. But as I mentioned in the summary, There's one single flaw that this movie could've done without.In-film advertisements. If you didn't notice, Pepsi and Subway commercials are littered throughout the film. The arena where Happy tries out for his local hockey team has Pepsi clocks. Happy brings Subway home for his girlfriend. Shooter asks specifically for a diet Pepsi from Virginia. Happy Gilmore is teamed up with Bob Barker on the Pepsi Pro-Am. Happy gets $50,000 from doing a Subway commercial, and gets free Subway for life. There's Subway logos littered all over the tournament championship course.And it gets worse - if you watch the heavily censored TV version of this movie, the editors removed almost all of the product references in the movie's dialogue, but the worst edit is the logo on Happy's subway shirt. The editing they did is blatantly obvious. Other movies had obvious product placement in them too (GMC trucks in Lethal Weapon 2, Pepsi in Home Alone, McDonalds in Big Daddy) But here it's overdone.At any rate, it's a comedy that's achieved a cult status and it's possibly the best film Adam Sandler's ever done. Now if we could all just forget about Jack & Jill.9/10

This movie is great. it is one of my favorite movies. MY favorite part was shooter Mcgavin saying "I eat pieces of feces like you for breakfast" and happy goes "You eat pieces of feces for breakfast?" That is hilarious, the plot is great it goes along with the heroes journey almost exactly. The comedy is funny through the whole movie. A kid gets hit with a baseball machine, and air conditioner drops on an old lady. There isn't much of anything I didn't like about the movie. The part where Happy imagines Shooter making out with his grandma is just nasty, just why, Shooter why.I would absolutely recommend this movie to anyone looking for a great comedy.
