  • Adam Sandler has four good movies, and this one of them. It helps that the premise has inherent promise - a rage-filled hockey player tries to parlay his talents into golfing success. Sandler's usual poisonous rage is cut with some genuine pathos, and the largely straight world around him keeps the performance on track.

Synopsis

Happy Gilmore is a sports comedy that sees the titular Happy adjust to the world of Golf after failing to make it into Hockey. When he finds that his grandmother is nearly about to lose her home, Happy is discovered by a pro golfer who promises to train him to be one of the best after seeing his otherworldly slapshot. What follows is a new take on golf that completely upends the sport by turning it into a hilarious and chaotic spectator sport as this former short-tempered hockey player jumps into the world of professional golf.
