Happy Gilmore is a great movie which ranks among the best of comedies. It all starts off in with a hockey player named Happy Gilmore, who is played by Adam Sandler, who is chasing a fantasy to go into the NHL. Frankly, Happy was never a great hockey player and has lost most hope of becoming anything until one day, he picks up a golf club. While crushing balls at the range, a man by the name of Chubbs watches in amazement as Happy awkwardly crushes balls over 400 yards. Chubbs realizes Happy's potential at golf and begins coaching him. Happy is convinced to stay with golf and leave hockey because his Grandma is being evicted and forced to live in a nursing home because Happy doesn't have the money to keep her out. In order to get his grandmother out of the nursing home, Happy joins the PGA. Happy is a huge embarrassment on the greens but always gets there in one shot. His rude behavior and inappropriate comments almost get him kicked off the Tour. He competes in a tournament for a green jacket with a pro named Shooter who tries to cheat happy out of a win. In the end Happy wins the tournament and gets a load of cash and is able to get his Grandmother back in her evicted house.
I like Happy Gilmore for many reasons. First off, in my opinion, Happy Gilmore is the best comedy ever in a very close race with Sandler's, Billy Madison. Happy Gilmore mainly because it combines sport with comedy and being an avid golfer, the story becomes much more humorous to myself. Happy Gilmore also gets extra points because it is has some history. It has been around for nearly 12 years and is still entertaining to watch over and over again. Another reason this is a good movie is that Adam Sandler is a flawless comedian. Through Saturday night live and various other comedy movies, it is hard to go wrong with Sandler. In addition, the other acting in the movie is solid. All the other main characters are well played and perfectly fit their parts. Overall, Happy Gilmore is a great choice of movie for any movie audience.
According to the critics at rottentomatoes.com, Happy Gilmore was close to a split decision for the critics. If a critic liked the movie they seemed to love it, yet those who didn't find the movie enjoyable didn't seem to be completely against it. All of the top critics still had at least some good things to say about the movie. In Addition, various top critics think that Happy Gilmore is Sandlers best movie to date! Back in 1996, Happy Gilmore one an MTV movie award and was nominated for three others. Based on the T-Meter, Happy Gilmore received only a 56 out of 100 points. Top Critics like Roger Ebert seemed to have many doubts about the film, yet it still seemed to bring in a lot of money.
