Amazon.co.uk Review
Adam Sandler fans are sure to enjoy this no-brainer comedy, but everyone else is strongly advised to proceed with caution. Before scoring a more enjoyable hit with his 1998 comedy The Wedding Singer, the former Saturday Night Live goofball played Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered guy whose dreams of hockey stardom elude him. But when he discovers his gift for driving golf balls hundreds of yards, he joins a pro tour to win the prize money needed to rescue his beloved grandma's home from repossession. The trouble is, Happy's not so happy. He's got a temper that frequently flares on the golf course (he even dukes it out with celebrity golfer Bob Barker), but a retired golf pro (Carl Weathers) and a compassionate publicist (Julie Bowen) help him to perfect his putting game and adjust his confrontational attitude. How much you enjoy this lunacy depends on your tolerance for Sandler's loudmouthed schtick and a shocking number of blatant product-placement endorsements, but if you're looking for broad comedy you've come to the right tee-off spot. --Jeff Shannon

Funniest film ever???

a must buy

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST FILM EVER!!!
I saw this film at a mates birthday bash and MY GOD it was funny. Adam Sandler was brill and the gags were woven into the story with ease. The story was touching in parts, although sometimes the plot became slightly complicated. Still, an amazing film that would split your sides on any day of the week. Thoroughly reccommended.

ONE GREAT FAMILY FILM
Adam Sandler plays Happy Gilmore in this fantastic comedy. Happy's father was a hockey-maniac. Hockey was his life and because of that, his mother left his father. Happy's Dad died from a puck when it hit him at a hockey game. After this, Happy was sent to live with his Grandma. Happy Gilmore tried and tried all his life to be a hockey player, but there was just one problem - he wasn't any good! The IRS reposess his Grandma's house for not paying taxes for over 10 years and Happy is determined to get her house back. He suddenly discovers making money from hitting the longball in golf for over 400foot. He becomes a golfing legend. The rest of the film is just too hillarious to type, so I suggest you get the film! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
