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

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
