My Guilty Pleasure

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2011)

Yes it is silly, juvenile, crazy and it is not going to win any awards but hey ho, I love it. Yes you have to like Adam Sandler and you do not need to think much. But it is an hour and a half of pleasure for me and always makes me giggle like a little kid. I love the fact that Shooter is such a numpty and you know he is going down. Carl Weathers as Bubbsy is terrifically over the top and Happy even manages to get his wooden hand destroyed but he gets the alligator he did it. There are also hilarious cameos by Richard Kiel as Happy's ex boss complete with the nail from the nail gun Happy fired at him and causing him to be sacked of course and Ben Stiller as an abusive care home assistant. My favourite scene is Happy's fight with his playing partner at a pro-am tournament who is the guy who presents the Price is Right. "The Price is Wrong bitch". I like Adam Sandler a lot as his films are the sort of juvenile mindless fun that always cheers me up.
