Review of Happy Gilmore (1996) by Alex R — 20 Jul 2011
Looking back at Adam Sandler's career, of all the films that he has done, 95% of them have been crap. For the exception of a few. One of those films is Happy Gilmore. This has got to be the best film that Adam Sandler has starred in.
He plays a failed hockey player who enrolls in a golf tournament so that he can save his grandmother's house from forclosure. Happy Gilmore is a no brainer comedy thats a lot of fun. It may not be everyones cup of tea, but if you're looking for Sandler's best film, here it is.
The cast are funny, and I personally think that the one who is the funniest here and makes the film watchable is Ben Stiller as the retirement Home orderly. There are things that could've been done better, but as a whole, Happy Gilmore is one of the few Sandler comedies that really does work.
The film has a fairly impressive cast as well, and every viewer has got to admit the fight between Bob Barker and Happy is one of the funniest moments that could happen in a comedy. I won't say it's a classic moment, cause it's not, but it's definitely a very good part.
Happy Gilmore is not an excellent comedy by any means, but it certainly brings on good laughs. This is definitely a film worth watching with friends to have yourself a good time.
