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

Happy Gilmore.......2008-03-05
this is the best adam sandler film i have seen! the box may not blow you away and catch your eye, but don't be fooled if you want a laugh buy this!
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST FILM EVER!!!.......2007-06-05
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.
Nearly A Hole In One........2007-05-10
In what is Adam Sandlers best work to date, the hopeless hockey failure Happy Gilmore must join the Professional Golfers Tour to help his Grandmother with her finances.
As a golfer myself I can say that the antics pulled in this golf caper are are riot! I have seen the film probably over 50 times but each time I laugh as if it were my first time viewing it.
From Carl Weathers and his wooden hand, to Happy teaming up with Bob Barker, this movie keep you laughing the whole way through.
Funniest film ever???.......2007-04-14
this film is a laugh a minute from the start! sandler realy brings the character alive, if at times slightly unbelievable, this film will have u in stiches from start to finish. u do not have to like golf or even kno anything about it.
a must buy
sandlers finest moment.......2007-03-23
happy gilmore is adam sandlers finest film, a film which doesnt try to be anything other than it is,a film where sandlers character isnt annoying,examples of that being waterboy and billy maddison,this is a film where sandler plays a man that you wish the best for.
Sandler plays happy gilmore,a man with a temper which is best left hidden,but when his dream of being an ice hockey star collaspe,an anger inside is released and when he tries his hand at golf it becomes clear he has a raw talent which needs to be refined of course but his temper gets in the way more often that not and the results are electric.
The film is also notable for having ben stiller as a nurse who is a menace and the performance of chris mcdonald as the evil villain shooter mcknight.
Happy gilmore is a happy go lucky kinda film,no harm in it and plenty of great scenes,to top it all off it is funny and thats something that cant be sai of all sandlers movies,sometimes sandler is his own worst enemy in his films,not with happy gilmore though.
