Summary: A modern-day 'Caddyshack'
Review: This movie will have you grabbing your sides and gasping for air. Adam Sandler plays Happy Gilmore, a lowclass guy trying to win money for his grandma through his newly discovered talent of hitting the ball faaaaaaaaaaar in golf. His putting is horrible though. And like any comedy, there must be a rival. A proffesional golfer who feels Happy is an insult to the Golfing industry tries to keep Happy from winning so that he himself can win. This movie is like a modern version of Caddyshack, and great for the whole family.

Summary: Not as happy as I would like
Review: This sports comedy is entirely too typical in most respects, with an embarrassingly bad subplot involving a former golf great and an alligator. But many of the gags are pretty funny, and there is some real humor in a blue collar hockey player forced to deal with the elite golfing world. The comeuppance for the cartoonish bad guy is cringe-inducing, looking like it came right out of the early eighties. But there are enough funnies to keep my interest.

Summary: Low Brow Rubbish
Review: To say this movie is funny is like saying golf is easy. It is just low brow humor, violent, and not funny at all. The scene where he fights with his opponent is the typical crap from Sandler. Sorry, but he's just not funny.
If you want a really funny about golf, stay away from this. See the classic "Caddyshack", even "Tin Cup", but don't waste your money on Sandler.

Summary: I don't think your lungs can handle this kind of laughter...
Review: You're looking for a comedy on DVD. Let's see... You don't want any comedy that's too sophisticated, like "Deconstructing Harry". You don't want any comedy that's too insane, like "There's Something About Mary". You JUST want to laugh. I'm proud to say "Happy Gilmore" will make you scream with laughter, my friend. This is Adam Sandler's platinum hit, the best comedy of his career. It has the coveted Amazon.com five-star customer rating, a rare find indeed for the comedy lover, and reviewers call it "the best golf comedy since 'Caddyshack'". The movie stars Adam Sandler (Bulletproof, The Wedding Singer, Billy Madison) as Happy Gilmore, a short-fused hockey player who just realized he AGAIN didn't make the cut for his hockey team for the 10th time in a row. After taking out his raging anger on the coach, he life begins to spiral downwards when his girlfriend leaves him, and he realizes his grandmother's prized house built by his grandfather's bare hands if about to be seized by the IRS in 90 days due to her failure to pay taxes in over a decade. But when he discovers his monster hockey slapshot equals one hell of a talent in golf, he is talked into playing golf by a local retired golfer, Chubbs Peterson, for the money to reclaim his grandma's house. But not only is Happy not ready for golf, but the president of the Pro Tour, Doug Thompson, doesn't think golf is ready for Happy! Even his future golf enemy, Shooter McGavin, thinks he's making a mockery of golf with his very bad temper and his rambunctious behavior. But Happy is a hit with fans, so he's weaved himself through the loophole...for now. For a shining moment he's riding on Cloud 9-iron, but Shooter McGavin, and the accidental death of his beloved mentor Chubbs, are threatening to take away not only his grandmother's house, but his dream as well, and it's not just about his grandma's house anymore...it's about triumph. So, if you love simple comedy, get Happy Gilmore on DVD. You'll fall down laughing....guaranteed!
