Happy Gilmore

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2016)

Happy Gilmore is a great movie. It's a great movie for many reasons, the plot is fantastic, the script is awesome and Adam Sandler is hysterical. The 1996 film starring Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Carl Weathers is a classic. Directed by Dennis Dugan, it is one of his bests along with other films like Big Daddy, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, You Don't Mess with the Zohan, both Grown Ups 1 and 2, Just Go with It and Jack and Jill. Being produced by Robert Simonds, this is also one of his best known films. Other notable films produced by Simmonds are Cheaper by the Dozen and The Pink Panther, This Means War and Big Daddy. Happy Gilmore is a rejected hockey player with a really hard slap shot. He gets cut from the same team every year but still tries out. He finds out that his grandma, who raised him as a child, house is being evicted. While playing around with some golf clubs he learns he can drive a golf ball really far. With help from his friend and trainer, Chubbs, he works his way up to the PGA tour in hopes to win enough money to get his grandma's house back. His antics attract an unusual crowd to the PGA tour which is good for business but other top golfers like Shooter McGavin think he's an embarrassment. Making $41.20 million dollars, Happy Gilmore is another one of Adam Sandler's best movies. The comedy was rated 7/10 of IMDb which is lower than what I believe it should be. I would rate the movie 8.5/10. 30 year old Adam Sandler is hilarious in this film and the acting over all is very good. Another reason I love this movie is because I think they did an awesome job attracting all audiences, I watch this movie with my family all the time. It attracts people of all ages. My younger cousins and my grandma and grandpa both love this movie as well. Over all, this movie is a classic. It has a very funny plot that is easy to follow for everyone. The actors assisting Sandler do a great job supporting him throughout the film. There are many hilarious scenes and quotes from Happy Gilmore. Most people have seen the movie already, but if you have not you definitely should soon.
