Great Film: Happy Gilmore
I say, We just lay by the bay and make hay! Okay?"
Okies....here we have the indisputable King of mediocrity but one thing you
gotta say for Sandler - they don't come more unpretentious! He delivers what
you expect and in HAPPY GILMORE he came up undeniably with his best
film!
As the wannabe hockey great in dire need of an anger-management course,
Sandler discovers by chance his prodigious golfing talents - but using a
hockey stick! In a performance best decribed as R-rated Jerry Lewis, Sandler
is a hoot as he takes on Bob Barker, the establishment and Shooter McGavin -
golfing's hissable "Mr Smarm" (An Oscar-worthy turn from Christopher
McDonald)
Carl Weathers turns in a blinder as Sandler's newly come-by coach with an
unfortunate earlier run-in with a hungry croc! If you don't find anything in
this film funny, you're a dead person! Like many devotees, we have watched
this film countless times - it just improves with age!
