Happy Gilmore (DVD) ... DVD released 08 September, 2003 at Universal Pictures UK / Features of the DVD: Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / Adam Sandler fans are sure to enjoy this no-brainer comedy, but everyone else is strongly advised to proceed with caution. Before scoring a more enjoyable hit with his 1998 comedy The Wedding Singer, the former Saturday Night Live goofball played Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered guy whose dreams of hockey stardom elude him. But when he discovers his gift for driving golf balls hundreds of yards, he joins a pro tour to win the prize money needed to rescue his beloved grandma's home from repossession. The trouble is, Happy's not so happy. He's got a temper that frequently flares on the golf course (he even dukes it out with celebrity golfer Bob Barker), but a retired golf pro (Carl Weathers) and a compassionate publicist (Julie Bowen) help him to perfect his putting game and adjust his confrontational attitude. How much you enjoy this lunacy depends on your tolerance for Sandler's loudmouthed schtick and a shocking number of blatant product-placement endorsements, but if you're looking for broad comedy you've come to the right tee-off spot. --Jeff Shannon

To his and everyones' surprise, he's actually very good and with the help of local coach (Carl Weathers) he's soon on the am/pro golf circuit and sending the quiet game into turmoil. Happy becomes a sensation almost overnight and his playing style has to be seen to be believed. He's an ace at the long drive but not so good at putting which is where coach (Weathers) comes in.

Happy Gilmore is probably my joint favourite film of all time tied with weird science. The reason I love Happy Gilmore so much is the fact that it just never gets old every time I watch it I end up in stitches and I always hear something that I didn't catch last time. The film is all a bout young man, Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler), who fancies himself as a NHL pro and despite the major problem of him being rubbish at ice hockey he isn't deterred and turns up for the trials held at his local stadium every year. After his latest trial he returns home to discover that his kindergarten teaching girlfriend has had enough of him and his wild ambitions ...  Read the complete review

Written by Adam Sandler and Tim Herhily, and written by Dennis Dugan Happy Gilmore was released in July 1996. ****Story line**** Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) is a wannabe ice hockey player that keeps getting cut from the team. Whilst he has the ability to really strike the puck and power it off the penalty spot, he does not have the other necessary skills, such as skating, required for hockey. His biggest downfall is his inability to control his violent temper. Happy's grandmother (Frances Bay) falls behind with her tax payments and has her house repossessed only to be put in a care home. Happy makes it his mission to get her house back ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Happy Gilmore (DVD): One of Sandler's best (334 words)
by - written on 19/09/09 (Very useful, 5 readings)
Rating:

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Happy Gilmore is one of the few Adam Sandler films that actually managed to win a degree of critical acclaim, and is largely considered one of his best, if not his best film outright. It features Sandler at his manic best, with some cracking pop culture references, and somehow, it manages to make a sport that many think boring quite interesting. In short, imagine if golf were more like professional wrestling - that's how this film shakes things up. Happy Gilmore (Sandler) is an up and coming ice hockey star who is unfortunately unable to join any teams because he has a powerful slapshot but ...  Read the complete review
