Summary: Great golf comedy, Sandler is a natural (In acting i mean)
Review: This movie is truely funny, Sandlers best and it doesn't get funnier than this, which honestly is true 'cause Sandler is comin' up with stinker scripts now. A lose cannon hokey wannabe stunk at the draft practice and was dropped from the leauge, thinking he is a one of a kind like Tony Williams, His temper grows everytime people tease him of being a bad hockey player. So he goes to his grandma after being dumped by his girlfriend for being a has been loser in hockey with no money whatsoever, he finds his granny interrogated and all her products including her house is taken because of cheating on her taxes and not paying it as usual as any of us normal american citezens would do (God it's a pain in the ass to pay those damn taxes) he vows to get $236, 000 to pay off the tax, so he picks up golf and becomes a laughing stock sensational player, wins about two pro championship, including chart topples and cash, he pays off the debt and the movie ends. But the whole senario is undoubtly funny and his battles with all star golfers and other charecters are hillarious. This movie is definitely unmissable, if you're a Adam Sandler Fan, rent or buy this, whatever you do, don't miss this because it is one of the most funniest and gut busting Adam Sandler movies you'll come across.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: About What You Could Expect (or Maybe a Little Better)
Review: I bought this on a whim after seeing Adam Sandler in "Anger Management." I was also aware of his "goof-ball" reputation from his SNL years. "Happy Gilmore" is about what I expected: zany, goofy, and thouroughly enjoyable in the right mood. It's not the kind of movie I'll watch over and over again (or even over again), but it was definitely worth the bucks spent. You learn absolutely nothing about golf here, but if you like Sandler, or goofy comedy in general, I bet you will like this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the best comedies of all time
Review: Adam Sandler is hilarious. You can't deny that. This is his best movie (along with Big Daddy). This movie is filled with hilarious one-liners that make you laugh out loud. If you're in a bad mood, pop in Happy Gilmore and it is sure to cheer you up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wanna Get to know Adam Sandler?
Review: Halariously funny for Adam Sandler lovers. I dont know how to review this movie but every line that is said in this movie was halarious and on target. It beat Billy Madison In my eyes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could be the Caddyshack of the 90's.
Review: Of all the great movies Adam Sandler has done throughout the years, this would just about have to be the best - and funniest!

Happy Gilmore is a good hearted but short-tempered guy who has always wanted to be a hockey player. He was raised by his grandma after his dad died. Flash forward to present times: His life isn't so great, he didn't make the hockey team yet again, his girlfriend leaves him, and worst of all, his sweet grandmother's house gets repossessed by the IRS when she didn't pay her taxes. She has to stay in a retirement home (run by a very mean orderly).

Meanwhile, Happy somewhat accidentally discovers he has the abilty to drive a golf ball really far! While at a driving range, he gets discovered by retired pro Chubbs Peterson, who offeres to show him how to play golf and to get a sopt on an upcoming PGA tour, but he's not interested and thinks it's dumb.

Long story short, he decides to do it anyway, in order to get the $250,000 needed to save his grandma's house. From here on is where it really gets good. He adds a bit of fun into the sport: cussing like a sailor when he misses the ball, and occasionally throwing clubs and hitting a few guys. As mean spirited as that sounds, it's all done in such a way you can't help but to laugh.

Meanwhile, longtime player Shooter McGaven takes an instant disliking to Happy and does all he can to assure he gets kicked off the tour. Also, he meets a nice public relations girl named Virginia, who somewhat befriends him and tries to get him to calm down. They may or may not get closer (i.e. more romantic) later on...you'll have to watch to find out!

Also, if you can watch the miniature golf scene or the one with Bob Barker and not laugh, you have no sense of humor!

Without ruining it, I can't really give much else away, but in short, if you've ever been really frustrated at golf (*raises hand*) or anything, and/or just want a good, non-thinking type silly comedy, you'll love this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Love the Movie But Hate the DVD!
Review: I Love the movie but hate the DVD! How could they not have also released a widescreen version for Happy Gilmore?

If this DVD also included a widescreen option I would give it 5 stars so Please also do a widescreen DVD!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just tap it in
Review: Happy Gilmore is one of those fun comedies I can watch over and over again and still laugh all the way through. This is Adam Sandler at his best: playing an easily angered, sarcastic hero. Unlike many other Sandler movies, the rest of the cast shines as well. Christopher McDonald is perfectly cast as the uppity villian Shooter McGavin and Carl Weathers is excellent as the retired golf pro Chubbs Peterson. Also, look out for Ben Stiller as the evil intern at Grandma's retirement home. Just his mustache alone will crack you up!

The plot is a simple one: Happy Gilmore's grandmother needs money to win her house from the IRS so Happy must win at golf (even though he's a hockey player at heart) to save the day. Sounds like nothing new, but it doesn't matter. The joy of the movie is in all the little things... like when Shooter threatens Happy by saying "Stay out of my way or you'll pay. Listen to what I say..." and then Happy replies "How 'bout I eat some hay? I could make things from clay or lay by the bay. I just may. Whattaya say?" Great comedy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than Caddyshack?
Review: This movie was one of the first Adam Sandler movies there was. He was on Saturday Night Live as one of the funniest people to ever rock NBC studios to the core. Did he carry his special talent of laughter to the Big Screen?

Yep! Before I saw this movie I saw Caddyshack. Caddyshack was a funny movie but kinda slowed down its funny meter from time to time. In Happy Gilmore, the meter is on high, and it is definetly not stuck.

This movie falls into the "Comedy Classics" category. It showed the hilarity of a person who played golf like a pro but didnt even know it. That is probablly what made this movie cinematic magic.

Scenes that will live in history were when Chubbs and Happy went to the Putt Putt golf place, the brawl with Bob Barker, and the flashback at the beginning. This movie is a great hollywood triumph and I reccomend it to anybody who loves, and hates, golf.
