Adam Sandler fans are sure to enjoy this no-brainer comedy, but everyone else is strongly advised to proceed with caution. Before scoring a more enjoyable hit with his 1998 comedy The Wedding Singer, the former Saturday Night Live goofball played Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered guy whose dreams of hockey stardom elude him. But when he discovers his gift for driving golf balls hundreds of yards, he joins a pro tour to win the prize money needed to rescue his beloved grandma's home from IRS repossession. The trouble is, Happy's not so happy. He's got a temper that frequently flares on the golf course (he even dukes it out with celebrity golfer Bob Barker), but a retired golf pro (Carl Weathers) and a compassionate publicist (Julie Bowen) help him to perfect his putting game and adjust his confrontational attitude. How much you enjoy this lunacy depends on your tolerance for Sandler's loudmouthed schtick and a shocking number of blatant product-placement endorsements, but if you're looking for broad comedy you've come to the right teeoff spot. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews

You Mean This Is Not An Instructional Video For Golf?
I actually went to a driving range and tried the running swing...I think the club went farther than the ball.

O yeah, the DVD review. This is one of the classics you can pull out and watch once or twice a year, and it doesn't get stale. The humor is never ending - from Gilmore's run-ins with Shooter McGavin, to his interactions with golf coach Carl Weathers, to the male nurse running a nursing home sweat shop where Happy's grandmother has to live because she can't pay her property taxes. The price is right after watching a pro-am tournament confrontation with Bob Barker.

Happy's outrageous behavior during the tournaments, not to mention that of some of the spectators, would actually make television coverage of golf way more fun to watch.

One of my favorites just got better
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It's even better now that it has HD quality.

One of my top 10 Favorites!
This is by far the best Adam Sandler movie, if you don't have this in your collection you are missing out.
