Ben W 05/14/2025 Very fun movie. Sandler isn’t my favorite by any means. But this had some good jokes and and enjoyable plot. See more Noel C 05/01/2025 Classic movie that just gets better with age!

See more TheFilmCritics @TheFilmCritics 3d Happy Gilmore is a comedy that doesn't just build up momentum; it arrives swinging. Adam Sandler’s manic, hot-headed performance turns a ridiculous hockey-player-turned-golfer premise into an endlessly entertaining sports comedy, elevated by Christopher McDonald’s gloriously smug Shooter McGavin, Carl Weathers’ charm, and a surprisingly warm emotional core. The Happy-Shooter rivalry supplies a steady stream of quotable, wonderfully juvenile laughs, while the film’s themes of family, loyalty, and finding where you belong give the chaos genuine heart. Its familiar underdog formula, thin dramatic complexity, and devotion to slapstick hardly qualify as flaws when the movie so completely understands its own appeal. Ridiculous, reckless, and irresistibly funny, it remains one of Sandler’s most enduring and rewatchable comedies. See more Chris S @Janomi Aug 10 Happy Gilmore is very entertaining because the angry-golfer concept is such a perfect Adam Sandler comedy setup. A failed hockey player bringing rage, slapshots, trash talk, and fights into golf gives the movie a simple hook that keeps paying off. Sandler makes Happy immature, explosive, and weirdly easy to root for, but Christopher McDonald nearly steals the movie as Shooter McGavin. Shooter is smug, petty, insecure, and endlessly quotable, making him one of the great comedy villains. The golf comedy works because the movie turns a quiet, polite sport into a chaotic arena for heckling, brawls, ridiculous behavior, and underdog nonsense. Carl Weathers adds warmth and old-school mentor energy, while the Bob Barker fight is one of the funniest scenes. The story is thin, but Happy Gilmore is fast, silly, quotable, and still one of Sandler’s most memorable comedies. See more Dennis G @MunchinBooty Aug 10 How can you not like this movie?
