Barker vs. Gilmore: That's what made it great!

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2006)

This is one Adam Sandler movie that'll go down in the history books. He plays a ex-hockey player whose slap shot makes him a golf pro. I mean he's no Tiger Woods, but with a few lessons he'll be good. Happy Gilmore(Adam Sandler) would be playing pro-hockey, since he couldn't skate, his swing was the strong point of it all. I mean, if a person could swing, doesn't make him useless. Since Gilmore's skating handicapped him from the dream sport, golf club shaped like a hockey stick keeps him from being disillusioned. Chubbs Peterson(Carl Weathers, "Action Jackson", "Predator", and The "Rocky" Movies) is Happy's mentor. A football player-turned actor lost his hand to an alligator. Happy did get his revenge on the alligator, but his payback claims Chubbs' life as well. Then my favorite scene of all time is "The Price is Right" host Bob Barker battling Gilmore in a brawl, which I think is outstanding, and hilarious as well. This movie is what Barker calls is his "revenge" since he took karate lessons from Chuck Norris. WHAT A PAYOFF! That's one game-show host I wouldn't p--- off! All the way, this movie rocks. See it for yourself. Being a "Price is Right" fan, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Rating 3 out of 5 stars.
