GREAT SANDLER FUN & DEFINITELY ONE OF HIS BEST FILMS

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2020)

Adam Sandler was abit of a Hero to me during the late 90's & early 2000's when he was at his blockbuster best knocking hit after hit out!!!
I loved Big Daddy, The WaterBoy, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Bulletproof, Anger Management & Mr.Deeds, the guy was on fire as a goofy lovable but angry big kid & everyone loved him.
"Happy Gilmore" was one of his that i got in video the same time i got his "Billy Madison" as both got re-released with the massive hit "Big Daddy" when it came out to buy, Adam Sandler is a comedy genius & his films are great fun with lots of hilarious scenes & hilarious cameos by anyone that Sandler is friends with at the time.
Although Sandler now has dropped massively with the quality of his films & he's no longer a "Big movie star" as he's had his day, we can still go back & watch with great Nostalgia his Comedy greats from his long Career.
"Happy Gilmore" is pure Adam Sandler gold, he's here the type of angry & sarcastic character he would be known to play in nearly all his films but that's fine as that's his "thing" & as Happy Gilmore he's great fun to watch as he takes on a Golf tournament to try to win & collect the big pay-off at the end & buy back his grandmother's house, that's basically the story & a fun set-up for all the craziness that happens. Gilmore always wanted to be a Hockey player but kept getting benched for being to aggressive & fell into the world of Golf by chance with his powerful swing & he meets his soon to be manager "Chubbs Peterson" a hilarious little role for the action hero actor Carl Weathers, also we get a slimy little cameo from another Comic great Ben Stiller & one of the best & funniest Comedy villains ever with "Shooter McGavin" a slimy & brilliant Christopher McDonald.
This is a goofy feelgood summertime Comedy with lots of laugh out loud moments & an on Fire Comic performance by the legendary Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore!!!
This is definitely one of his greatest & most beloved movies, we who grew up in the 90s loved this flick & still do.
