One of Sandler's more amusing attempts.

Rating: 6/10 (24 December 2006)

Stars: Adam Sandler, Carl Weathers, Julie Bowen, Chris McDonald, Allen Covert, Richard Kiel, Dennis Dugan, Joe Flaherty, Ben Stiller.
Let me start off by saying that I really do not find Adam Sandler to be funny. I have yet to see a movie where I actually find him funny, but this was one of his better tries. Adam Sandler plays hockey, then golf player, Happy Gilmore trying to raise money for his grandmother. In order to learn golf, he gets help from Chubbs, played by the scene stealing Carl Weathers. Adam Sandler plays a jerk, yet he is surprisingly likable and you are rooting for him in the film. If you're a fan of Sandler I highly recommend this. If you aren't a particularly big fan of him, this will kill an hour and a half. Also noted is Ben Stiller in a hilarious cameo as the Senior Home worker.
My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 95 mins. PG-13 for Language.
