I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Great Film overall
Best movie ever!
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
This movie is great. it is one of my favorite movies. MY favorite part was shooter Mcgavin saying "I eat pieces of feces like you for breakfast" and happy goes "You eat pieces of feces for breakfast?" That is hilarious, the plot is great it goes along with the heroes journey almost exactly. The comedy is funny through the whole movie. A kid gets hit with a baseball machine, and air conditioner drops on an old lady. There isn't much of anything I didn't like about the movie. The part where Happy imagines Shooter making out with his grandma is just nasty, just why, Shooter why.I would absolutely recommend this movie to anyone looking for a great comedy.
Happy Gilmore is an early film of Adam Sandler's during his 1990's era. The spirit of the film and the title character played by Sandler are every bit as enjoyable as many have considered this film to be. Happy is the ultimate chip-on-his-shoulder leading man, who settles every argument with a punch in the nose or a biting wisecrack. He has a short fuse which is shown that the slightest spark can set him off, occasionally with great results. He is a lifelong hockey fan, and he wants desperately to play with the pros, but he has one problem which is he can't skate. However after one day occasionally fooling around with golf with a few friends, he is noticed by former gold legend Chubbs. From there on, Chubbs tells him that Happy is a great and has talent, though Happy doesn't want any part of golf since his goal is to become a hockey player. Happy Gilmore does have several decent laughs and Adam Sandler plays the character as needed. For a comedy the plot works well enough and the pacing is good. It isn't too long and it is quite enjoyable for those of fans of this sort of comedy.
The earlier Adam Sandler films, are the best. All Sandler films are harmless enough. The early ones are comical, joyful and unrealistic. This comedy ticks all those boxes. Happy Gilmore (Sandler) is a terrible hockey player with a mean swing and serious anger issues. Taking up golf under the wing of an expert (Carl Weathers), Happy smashes his way through tournaments to raise money and save his grandmother's house. Current golfing champion Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald), hating the media attention Happy's receiving, plans to cut his golfing time short. Sandler's on top, ridiculous form, his anger delivers the hardest laughs. Happy Gilmore's story produces that comic edge with its unbelievable, can-do attitude, like a script originally for an animation. The comedy heavily outweighs the plot. Happy Gilmore is easy- going.
here is happy Gilmore destroying everything in his path just to help others he plays hockey but not good but destroys everything on ice but he love his mother she is a fun loving old woman who has her house for years but cant keep up with bills so she has to move into a old folks home with a cameo from Ben stiller treating old folks like crap but his mother hates it so Gilmore accidentally plays golf with a another cameo from Carl weathers as his caddy with a wooden hand he does his best to become a pro he does his Gilmore golf shot which In real life has been done by a Irish golfer so any way with his hockey stick putter defies boundaries and obstacles to go from amateur fines being angry and other pro to try and win his mothers home back what a hilarious fun film 7/10 one of his best films you will see from Sander one of his longest film at 1hr35mins
