Happy Gilmore Film Critique
In the 1996 master comedy known as Happy Gilmore, director Denis Dugan ties together an ex-hockey scrub into a legendary golf star. Happy, played by Adam Sandler, uses the motivation of his grandmother’s house being sold to fuel him to become the greatest golf player of all time with the most unique golf swings that will never be forgotten. I thought this was one the greatest parts of the movie when you see Happy swing the golf club with the running hockey slap shot to send the ball flying hundreds of yards into the distance.
Like all movies there is always that someone in the way to try and stop Happy from being the best in golf and in this movie that person is Shooter McGavin played Christopher McDonald. This movie is a non-stop comedy that never lets the audience down providing laugh after laugh. This is without a doubt one of Adam Sandler’s greatest movies of all time. Celebrities like Bob Barker make an appearance in the movie only to kick the crap out of Happy after getting into an argument while adding his famous line “the price is right.” This is easily one of the top 50 comedies of all time.
