Happy Gilmore [HD DVD]

Back in the day of physical VHS rentals from Blockbuster people would stand outside waiting for others to return this movie. The demand was insane and taught patience, something this spoiled generation hasn't had to experience due to one click rentals.Old school tradituonal golfers pre the Tiger Woods era tend not to like this because it's 'not realistic golf.' This is a classic Adam Sandler movie.In short: this is not your typical goofy pant wearing and fat a** golf movie.

Wow this is awfulI do understand that this movie is 30 years old, but many people produce better youtube videos than this crapSandler is just not a funny 'comedian' then combine his lack of talent with poor cinematography and you have a highschool level skits, not a movie.

I’d you love Adam Sandler you’ll enjoy “Happy Gilmore.” I’ve watched several times over the years. There is a lot of swearing as given a “R” rating. That aside it’s funny & has a good story line.

I thought this would be a good film for kids age 8-10 but the language and violence were shocking to me. I realized this too late, though, and the boys loved it.

I usually get a bit impatient with super silly movies but Adam Sandler kills it in this movie. His characters are flawed and dynamic and there's so much irony here. I really enjoyed watching this for date night. Rent it!

This is a great Adam Sandler film about a golfer who is really a hockey player. Funny, witty, and with a romantic twist, this is an entertaining film to watch with friends!.

Still one of my all time favorite Adam Sandler movies.

What I loved about this movie was the ACTING. It works because Adam Sandler is brllliantly "real" at all times, even though he plays a silly character in silly situations. His commitment to the role is breathtaking. Somehow you really believe this character would punch out his caddy, go beserk on national television, have a heated argument with a golfball, and threaten a plastic clown face with death! Yet at the same time, the character has an innocence and guilelessness that allows us to forgive him his excentricities. He's just an Everyman who is out of his element, trying to find his way. If he causes tumult and chaos in the area around him, it is forgivable because he is only doing what he has been trained to do, for all of his previous life. "Happy" remains a likeable character even while he is punching out Bob Barker! That is the genius of this movie.People might tell you the plot of this movie, and all the funny skits that are in this movie, but you still might not get it. I don't think I would have "gotten it" just by hearing a recounting of the plot. The script is funny, and it's a good vehicle, but the reason I have watched this movie over and over again is because Adam Sandler is SUCH a good actor. He makes you BELIEVE. Comedians never get enough credit for this, but in a movie like this one, which is really a pretty bizarre situation, it is his ability to take us into a mode of suspended reality that makes the movie work: he makes the incredible plausible. Bravo!

What can I say this film will never lose its appeal, a nice funny story with the good guy getting his girl, saving his grandma and beating the bad guys as well as having a very humorous take on golf

I love this film. If you haven't seen Little Nicky, watch this first! If you have, it will explain a few scenes in Little Nicky that you may not have got.But, the two films are otherwise unrelated and not part of a series or anything so enjoy however you see fit.Make no mistake, this film will crack you up!

This has to be the highlight of Adam Sandler's career; as well as a laugh out loud hilarious film this is the sum total of my golf knowledge also. I won't go into the storyline as it's fairly generic anyway and merely a platform for some of the best humour to ever come from over the pond. If you've never seen this film then it really is highly recommended, if you have seen it you alrady know how good it is

Essential viewing if you're into golf, or even if you've just got a sense of humour. You will never see golf in the same way again after this. Hilarious from start to finish, but with a bit of a heartwarming side too, and several memorable quotes which I'm trying to figure out how to slip into everyday conversation. Most of Adam Sandler's films are good, but this is definitely the best.

A great little film fun for all ages enjoyed it enormously
