That was an excellent one.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Happy Gilmmore is one of the greatest comedies of all time. I think it's Adam Sandlers best comedic performance ever. I've lost track how many times I've seen this film, but it's still funny every single time. Bob Barker scrapping with Happy was hilarious. All supporting actors were perfectly cast. The writing - specifically turning a slow paced sport like golf into a comedy, was executed to perfection. This one is in my top favorite films of all time and a gem in my DVD collection. A perfect 10/10 from me!

Review: 'Happy Gilmore' 'Happy Gilmore' starring Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald is a film about a rejected hockey player who tries his hand at golf to save his grandmother's house from being repossessed. Directed by Dennis Dugan, released in 1996 this is an Adam Sandler classic and definitely one of his best films but that's not saying much. 'Happy Gilmore' is an aspiring hockey player but he is always been rejected. When he learns that his Granny's house is going to be seized he joins a local golf tournament under the management of 'Chubbs Peterson' played by Carl Weathers. He wins the tournament and earns his place on the pro golf tournament. As I said Adam Sandler puts in his usual crude, juvenile performance but this time it actually works especially in comparison to his other recent films like 'Jack and Jill' and 'Grown Ups'. This film was released when Adam Sandler was putting out his best films like 'The Water boy' and 'Billy Madison'. Adam Sandler has plenty of experience playing characters like 'Happy' because in all of his films that I have seen he plays the same character. Christopher McDonald puts in a fairly decent performance of Happys' rival and reigning champion of the pro golf tournament 'Shooter McGavin' an arrogant and pretentious man. As I said he plays him pretty well. Bill withers puts in quite a funny performance as 'Chubbs' Happys' mentor and eventually friend. In comparison to his performance in 'Rocky' as 'Apollo Creed' he plays a much more comedic role showing his versatility. My favourite scene in 'Happy Gilmore' is when 'Happy' has a fight with Bob Barker from 'The Price is Right' who is playing himself. This is a pretty iconic scene in my opinion as most people I know, even if they haven't seen the film will know of this scene. I think that is what id best about this film, the back and forth between characters, Happy and Bob Barker, Happy and Shooter McGavin and Sometimes even happy and Chubbs. Another great scene that really sticks out to me is Happys' dream sequence. It's really uniquely shot and funny at the same time. All in all I criticize Adam Sandler's performance but this is truly his best film. I first watched this film when I was very young so I am quite nostalgic about it. I would like to see Adam Sandler try his hand at serious acting or going back to his roots to films like 'The Water Boy' or 'Happy Gilmore' because films like 'Jack and Jill' aren't working. Adam Sandler has proved he actually can be quite funny with the right actors around him supporting him. I give it a 6/10 it probably should be a 5/10 but I feel very nostalgic about it.

The earlier Adam Sandler films, are the best. All Sandler films are harmless enough. The early ones are comical, joyful and unrealistic. This comedy ticks all those boxes. Happy Gilmore (Sandler) is a terrible hockey player with a mean swing and serious anger issues. Taking up golf under the wing of an expert (Carl Weathers), Happy smashes his way through tournaments to raise money and save his grandmother's house. Current golfing champion Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald), hating the media attention Happy's receiving, plans to cut his golfing time short. Sandler's on top, ridiculous form, his anger delivers the hardest laughs. Happy Gilmore's story produces that comic edge with its unbelievable, can-do attitude, like a script originally for an animation. The comedy heavily outweighs the plot. Happy Gilmore is easy- going.

A follow-up to his miserable Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore is actually one of Adam Sandler's best comedies he's done. Maybe they got the right script, the correct director or just that Sandler dropped his loud, incoherent, obnoxious and incomprehensible gibberish…a ton worked here and I found myself actually (and FINALLY) laughing out loud in one of his comedies.I do my best to keep an open mind during any movie, and I devoted this weekend to spend more time with Sandler's more well-known films I hadn't seen. Even though, I didn't have high expectations for this. It didn't help, the opening credits were fairly lame and I thought: here we go again. But, then, the comedy began to work with Sandler's first couple of strokes of the golf balls. I started to uncontrollably laugh and enjoyed myself for the remainder of the flick.Granted, it's not the most original movie, and it relied on the usual antics, movie tricks and clichés. Still, I enjoyed the ride despite knowing how it would play out.Sandler works best when he doesn't lower himself to sudden, expected and whiney outbursts. Much like modern-day Melissa McCarthy; when she's not "Tammy," she's pretty damn funny. If I hadn't just now watched this movie for the first time in 2015, I would've had a renewed faith in Sandler, despite his already failing grade in 1996. Unfortunately, he would continue to make an enormous amount of garbage that would certainly make his movies a(n unintentional) laughing stalk in the industry. That all said, he's had a few gems, and I completely recommend this one.
