Happy Gilmore (16-Feb-1996)

Director: Dennis Dugan

Writers: Tim Herlihy; Adam Sandler

Music by: Mark Mothersbaugh]

Producer: Robert Simonds

Keywords: Sports Comedy, Golfing

Happy Gilmore, failed hockey player whose only accomplishment is the record for most time in the penalty box, discovers a previously unrealized talent: that he can propel a golf ball 400 yards. He enters a PGA tournament to raise money before the IRS seizes his grandmother's house. Probably the archetypal Adam Sandler film, if that means anything.

REVIEWS

Review by kurtzy8 (posted on 23-Feb-2005)

I feel that Happy Gilmore is one of the greatest movies of all time. Without Carl Weathers, though, the movie would only receive a half star from me. Carl Weathers is my personal hero. He is one of the few role models we have in the world today. It is ironic, though, that Carl Weathers is black. His blackness gives support to the theory that the black man always dies first. Although surviving injuries to the limbs in several of his films, he always manages to die.
