Stupid comedy that really works.

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2018)

Did you know that Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert's partner, walked out of this movie? Ebert stayed, but wrote in his review:
"Happy Gilmore" tells the story of a violent sociopath. Since it's about golf, that makes it a comedy."
He also complained that it was more of a product placement for Subway sandwiches than a golfing movie.
It's kind of ironic,in this case, that it has a 7/10 on IMDB and may arguably be known as Adam Sandler's best work. While I prefer Billy Madison, I agree that this IS when of his finest works.
Happy Gilmore is about that person, who has a huge passion for hockey. He plays, but he does not really have good skills. But he does have good skills with golf, and when he learns he can golf to save his Grandmother's house, he goes on a golfing tour against a pro golfer. The problem is his temper gets in the way.
Any one who has seen an Adam Sandler movie can know what to expect: Stupid humor is the main thing. Happy Gilmore has a lot, but it's still pretty funny. Example:
"I eat pieces of (crap) like you for breakfast."
"You eat pieces of (crap) for breakfast?"
"Ummm...NO!"
There is also pretty strong language too. Happy throws a fit on TV, and he is bleeped numerous times(I once counted and got 62 bleeps.) Sometimes I am shocked that this got a PG-13 and not a "tame" R(think Planes Trains and Automobiles.)
Happy Gilmore is not one of the greatest movies ever but it could be considered one of the greatest comedies. Turn your brain off and you may find a pleasant surprise.
