Some good light-hearted entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2020)

'Happy Gilmore' is another love/hate Adam Sandler comedy and your opinion on Sandler as an actor will probably determine whether you like this film or not. Although he has undeniably been in some stinkers, I've always liked Sandler and found him funny.
It's the same old Sandler formula in 'Happy Gilmore' - silly characters, a ridiculous story and plenty of dumb jokes. Exactly what you would expect, but it does serve a purpose as a piece of light-entertainment and it does consistently provide laughs, which should be how any comedy movie is judged.
Overall, 'Happy Gilmore' is definitely one of Adam Sandler's better movies. It's fun and entertaining, and that's really all you can ask for from a film like this.
