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

 Best golf comedy January 6, 2009
This is seriously the funniest golf movie I have seen. Adam Sandler is hilarious! There are a couple of corney parts but Sandler's lines are great. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves comedy and/or golf.
 really funny movie one of adam sandlers best January 3, 2009
I loved this movie and the acting was solid very funny and I would totally recomend this to any Adam sandler fan.
It even makes you laugh if you play in French with English subtitles December 29, 2008
Just saw it. True...not much in the way of bonus features.
But after you watch it once (or more) in English. It's kind of a kick to then watch in French with English subtitles.
(You can make that selection under LANGUAGE (You can select FRENCH for language and then ENGLISH subtitles.).
The reason I find it especially fun is because it really gets me the way the movie critics are so snobby about Sandler...yet some of the same themes are found in foreign films. When Fellini shows characters or actions considered kind of vulgar or grotesque...it's considered ART. When it happens in Adam Sandler movies the critics call it juvenile or worse.
So, I can't help but suspect if the critics were presented HAPPY GILMORE as a foreign movie...
(French with English subtitles) and told that Sandler was some kind of neorealist comic...or whatever kind of jargon they might throw around to feel important...it would be acclaimed.
Maybe that's why it's playing in France... They can appreciate it! (I guess that's why they took the trouble to dub in French...to sound as though it's actually spoken in French...with lip synced!) Even the romantic parts play well in French!
I happen to agree that Sandler is way underrated. It's not just they his films make you laugh...which is a big deal. But I think part of his power in Happy Gilmore and similar movies is that he's more honest about the range of human characteristics...some noble...some...not exactly noble.,..but human. So, we can identify.
So, even while I'm not enthusiastic about the uncouth parts (and violence) I do think he very accurately expresses our impulses. And he almost ALWAYS plays someone who struggles to do the right thing...
Anyway... Forget the critics...and my ponderous comments. It's a fun movie!
Better Than I Thought November 24, 2008
Happy Gilmore looks great in HD. It definitely has vivid colors that pop off the screen. Some high def movies have similar video quality to the DVD version, but this isn't one of them. I highly recommend getting this.
Funny and disgusting November 14, 2008
I didn't get this movie the first time I saw it. The second time I was in hysterics. One day it was on TV while my mom was visiting. The scene where the Asian lady comes into the room in Happy's shirt both disgusted and cracked my mom up. I couldn't stop laughing at her reaction. It's making me laugh now. Thanks Happy!
