The Best hockey/ golf movie ever!!

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2013)

When it comes to hockey and golf, there's a known correlation that brings the two sports together. The second I hear the name Happy Gilmore (Adam Sander), I immediately think of the hockey player turned professional golfer Happy Gilmore. The screenplay in each scene describes every part extremely. The dialog is hilarious you'll be remembering these quotes for days. Every time I see him in his movie I think why I can't "hit a golf ball 400 feet." That's something I could never do. Happy Gilmore finds away to hit the golf ball that far.
The reason I say that is because Happy Gilmore finds out that his grandmother's house is being repossessed and finds a new hobby, golf. Happy's grandma hasn't paid her taxes in over fifty years so the government has the right to take all of her possessions. While at local golf course Chubs Peterson, an old golf pro, somehow finds Happy just to drag him into the world of golf. A classic quote that Happy says during when Chubs first meets happy while he's in a batting cage, "Three hundred and sixty-four more days until next year's hockey tryouts, gotta toughen up!" Then Chubs says, "By god son, you're making me sick!" One of the best quote's in the entire movie. He wanted this for his grandma. His grandma meant the world to him. He thought that each tournament he was in would give him money to put towards buying the house. Happy won the invitational tournament, but a lot of it was just on pure luck. He'll have to rely on luck through the entire pro tour.
Throughout this, Happy Gilmore learns that as he enters into this pro tour that he's going to be introduced to his new reason to play golf. That was to beat his new rival Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald). Shooter McGavin was the leader in tournaments won and money earnings. People began to notice that Happy Gilmore is a character of his own. Tournaments began to be sold out every time and he started attracting people that you normal wouldn't see at a professional golfer's tour. They just want to see Happy Gilmore perform and do well along with his bizarre behavior. A long time former employer, Mr. Larson appears in one of the tournaments. He's there to cheer for Happy not Shooter. Throughout the rest of the tour Shooter is tormented by him. A quote that'll keep coming back to was what Mr. Larson says at two tournaments of which he was at and he takes Shooter McGavin's nine iron and bends it saying, "Shooter haven't you forgotten your nine iron???? HAHAHAHA!" At tour championship Mr. Larson shows up again but when appears there, Shooter McGavin hits the ball into the crowd. The ball all of a sudden lands on Mr. Larson's foot, he shouts, "Is this your ball?! It struck my foot!" Shooter asks the tour director if he can get a drop, but the tour director says that he has to play it as it lies. So Shooter hits the ball of Mr. Larson's foot, Mr. Larson says after that, "That's too thus far Shooter!" Shooter answers back, "Oh you count?" Then Mr. Larson fires back, "And you can count on me waiting for you in the parking lot!" The crowd goes, "OOOOOOOOOO! Better run Shooter!" Best part of the movie by far! Shooter McGavin decides he needs to get even with Happy Gilmore by hiring the Jackass Man to get Happy Gilmore off the tour when Happy is playing with famous television game show host, Bob Barker. Happy just needs to develop his short game to be able to beat Shooter McGavin. He realizes that he needs Chubs, so he goes back to him to work on his short game and pleads that he knows everything. The one thing he points out is he needs to find his own "Happy place". His grandma is included with what he's thinking about in his happy place because she makes her grandson very happy. There's one more tournament and that's the Tour Championship, but I can't let any details about how this ends. I'll let you find out for yourself.
This movie really is a movie for the ages. You'll be remembering this movie probably the rest of your life. Adam Sandler really is a character to watch for in this movie alone. The rival between Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin is almost an unforgettable rivalry that will be ever to be shown in a movie. I can promise you this movie will not disappoint. It's a movie to die for. If you hockey or golf then this movie would be a perfect fit for you. I hope you enjoy!
