Review of Happy Gilmore (1996) by Scott N — 13 Jul 2011
Say what you will about today's Adam Sandler or Sandler 2000 as I call him, but there was actually a time when sandler displayed effort, didn't have friends to employ, and as a result his movies were really funny starting with Happy Gilmore.
This movie works because it uses sandlers strengths to the fullest, and is easily Sandlers best Character. Carl Weathers seems like hes there for a paycheck, but that actually helps his performance and christoper McDonald shines as the villain.
its because of happy Gilmore and the other pre 2000 sandler films that people watch sandler 2000 hoping the gain to have the same fun they did back in the 90's. There was a time when I would have loved to have a sequel to this, but im afraid Sandler 2000 would ruin it.
