Pretty Good!

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2004)

I'm not a "seeker" of Adam Sandler movies but whenver I see them, I'm pleasantly surprised. This one was pretty good. I'm a fan of hockey -- not one of golf; however knowing that probably made the movie better for me. A golf fan might have found many faults with the movie. Not knowing golf made the movie better for me.
Watching (and hearing) the soaring golf balls made me laugh every time. It reminded me of Herman Munster hitting the baseball and beaning Leo Durocher 4 blocks away. The first time I ever saw Herman do that, I was rolling on the floor for several minutes. This movie reminded me of that and I was once again on the floor when Adam Sandler did it with the golf ball. By the way, Herman had me on the floor again when he kicked a football several miles away.
I just saw that the movie will be on TV next week (I think TNT or TBS). I truly hope that they do not cut out too much.
This was a very pleasant movie and I suggest you watch it with a youngster -- say a 12 year old. They will love it!
