Jon Monsarrat review: Not accessible to non-sports types, sub-intellectual

Rating: 1/10 (5 May 2002)

I'm an action movie guy, and I don't like dramas because they're too high-falutin'. So I don't need a lot of deep themes or magical cinematography to capture my attention. And I can go for a bad but campy and kind of fun flick like "Back to School" or "Road Trip".
But there was little to interest me in "Happy Gilmore". The humor is the sub-intellectual type from "Dumb and Dumber", and I'm not into golf. The plotting was generic, and I was just generally turned off by this film.
Who should see this film:
-- Sports types with nothing better to do on a rainy day.
(But get "Caddyshack" first.)
-- Comedy lovers who don't mind the dumb humor, as in
"The Waterboy" or "Airheads".
I had a good attitude starting into this film, but I'm forced to give it a 2 out of 10.
