Happy Gilmore review

Posted : 2 years, 10 months ago on 1 July 2021 12:22

Funny film that launched Adam Sandler into stardom. Carl Weathers character died but survived two boxing matches with Rocky? LOL! You knew he would win against Shooter, but still good YOU JACKASS!

This movie is funny as hell! One of Adam Sandler's best comedies. Lots of amazing moments that makes me want to laugh like crazy.

An average movie

Posted : 12 years, 2 months ago on 14 March 2012 12:50

It seems that Adam Sandler has lost his touch nowadays as all his recent movies have been some flop at the box-office. As far as Iโ€™m concerned, I have never cared for his movies but since this one was supposed to be one of his 'classics', I thought I should check it out. To be honest, I still didnโ€™t like it, that's for sure, but I have to admit it was actually better than 'Billy Madison' and many other movies starring Sandler. Once again, he was portraying an aggressive foul-mouthed moron who actually had a golden heart, at least, that's what the viewers were supposed to think. Anyway, I enjoyed the way they made a parody about sport movies in general and golf in particular, pointing out a few ridiculous things concerning this sport. Still, even though it was funny from time to time, most of it was still really boring and Gilmore was eventually more obnoxious than funny. Anyway, this flick was a success, even more than 'Billy Madison' so there was no way to stop Adam Sandler from making similar flicks for the next 20 years. To conclude, even though I didn't hate the damned thing, I still think it was average and I donโ€™t think it is really worth a look, except if you are a huge fan of the genre.ย

Happy Gilmore review

Posted : 13 years, 12 months ago on 17 May 2010 11:30

This movie is a must see for any Adam Sandler fan. It was funny and entertaining from start to finish. This movie is more suited for people who enjoy silly humor. I enjoyed all of it except for the Bob Barker fight but thats just me. You do not have to like golf to enjoy this either so if you are in the mood for a good laugh this is one that will make you laugh time and time again.

My favourite Adam Sandler film...

Posted : 14 years, 2 months ago on 10 March 2010 07:12

I really loved this film! Happy Gilmore is a very fun, exciting, hilarious, dramatic and heartwarming film that I think would be perfect for a family who have children who are at least over 11 years old. Happy Gilmore is a hilarious film that I think is a bit underrated as far as Adam Sandler films are concerned. Happy Gilmore has a very thoughtless plot but is a plot that is so thoughtless it's really fun. This is one of those films that are aimed at anybody just to entertain and make all people enjoy and experience. Also, it is one of those typical entertainment films that are great for Saturday night pizzas on the couch with a cold drink.


Adam Sandler is a good actor and he is the only actor who would have made Happy Gilmore an unfailed character. I don't really like him very much but he can make me laugh at times. His portrayal of Happy Gilmore is very funny and is very witty, clumsy and quite dumb on occasions. Happy Gilmore is a young man who has no family other than his widow grandmother. His father died when he was a young child and his mum left the family. When Happy discovers that his grandmother owes money to the IRS, he must try and earn money to get her house back. He then goes onto a golf open and wins it. When he becomes a professional golfer, he plays for the money but little does he realise as he is playing more golf the more he wants to play golf because he enjoys it and he is happy. Christopher McDonald is an idiot in this film as Shooter McGavin. Shooter is a middle aged man who is a professional golfer who has won it all in golf except the Tour Championship and the gold jacket. When Happy Gilmore comes into the Tour Championship, there becomes a rivalry between the two that have consequences. Julie Bowen as Tour public director Virginia Vennet is a good character but has lack of believability when it comes to what her job is. She is a very hot actress indeed. Ben Stiller makes a very mild uncredited appearance as Hal who is the manager of the old people's home where Grandma Gilmore is staying. He treats the people in the home like workers for his own business.


Happy Gilmore is a really entertaining fun sports film that I have watched timeless times when I have been in the mood for a laugh. Happy Gilmore is my favourite Adam Sandler and hopefully always will be. Happy Gilmore is a fantastic piece of entertainment that is perfect for a chill-out night.

Happy Gilmore review

Posted : 15 years, 4 months ago on 31 December 2008 06:47

this is the third movie that i grew up watching, happy gilmore. It just never gets old. Adam Sandler is the best when it comes to changing from a calm saint to an angry satan in les than 2 seconds. He always gets angry at little things in this movie and it's freaking hilarious. this is by far one of adam sandlers greatest comedy achivements. the one scene that i won't forget is the scene with adam and chubs: "By the way, thanks for dressing up." "Hey, if i caught myself in clothes like that i'd have to kick my own ass." I say hell yes! this movie will go down in history as one of the funniest adam sandler movies ever made, count on it!
