Classic Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (10 December 2008)

Not since Caddyshack (the first not the second) has golf been painted in such a humorous light. It is a story that many of us can identify with. A man has a dream but happenstance causes him to change direction when tragedy strikes his family. In this case a hockey player's grandmother loses her house and he discovers a talent for golf. With help from a living golf legend this scrappy up and comer prepares to join the pro circuit finding love and a rival along the way.
There are so many classic bits and lines that you'll not regret seeing this film. I know people who don't like Sandler's work and still never miss an opportunity to see Happy Gilmore. There are even some meta-humorous elements. Such as when the character Chubbs says that his mother didn't allow him to play football. When in real life the actor actually played for the Oakland Raiders in the 1970's.
Watch this with friends. Definitely not a kids movie but it is a real blast. You are going to want this one for your own movie collection 8.5 of 10
