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.
