Sandler is a riot!

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2002)

I have to admit that Adam Sandler's films are a source of guilty pleasure for me.While none of his films to date are considered comedy classics,the goal in each of them is to make you laugh,which I can honestly say they do.The whole idea of a wannabe overly violent hockey player turning to golf,after accidentally discovering a talent for it, to save his Grandmother's house,is absolutely hysterical,and Sandler delivers as only he can.Also giving a credible performance is Christopher MacDonald as the film's snobbish villain.So credible,in fact that you really feel like slapping him around not just a little,but a lot.Sandler's scenes with Bob Barker are so fall-down hysterical that I now consider them among my favorite all time comedy scenes.Overall, this may not be a lovable classic,but it is certainly a likable film.
