Review of Happy Gilmore (1996) by Daniel M — 24 Sep 2016

Great juvenile fun, carried along by Sandler, firing on all of his silliest cylinders, but it really works here.

He's most accessible in this one, and you will find a big percolating joy that flourishes though the whole movie.

If you don't mind Sandler reliving high school as an all-lucky-hits success with plenty of goofing around, then this is the comedy for you.

Also, If you've ever been frustrated by golf as in getting a lucky shot and spending the rest of your time trying unsuccessfully to recreate that lucky shot, well, this movie will give you some grins.

The Bob Barker scene is brilliant -.

Worth the rental price alone.

4 running gold swings out of 5.
