Review: Happy Gilmore

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2008)

Happy Gilmore is a failed hockey player with no direction in life. His grandmother is evicted from her house for her failure to pay back taxes, and his girlfriend has left him. He makes it on to the pro golf tour with the hope of making some money to save his grandmother's house, but is challenged by the favorites on the tour, Shooter McGavin.
This is one of the better Happy Madison flicks I've seen and this one actually made me laugh. The best scene has got to be the cameo of Bob Barker who went ballistic on hot-tempered Happy Gilmore. That scene is classic and it will be remembered forever.
The Happy Madison shingle has been a big disappointment nowadays with the release of vile spew Zohan and terrible unfunny Chuck and Larry. I'm glad I got to see this one because honestly, I'm starting to lose the faith with Adam's comedy posse. Let's just hope Happy Madison's next outing is a lot like Happy Gilmore and a little less of Zohan and Chuck and Larry.
