Reviews of the day:
Happy Gilmore (1996)
I'm having a hangover day again and I'm not really in the good mood for something of high quality (as I wouldn't be able to catch all of it), so I decided to watch a Sandler comedy.
It was nothing special and besides maybe a few small laughs, some minor good moments and a fairly good soundtrack, it's a film just like every other lame comedy.
The film is about an agressive guy, named Happy Gilmore, who wants to be a professional hockey player but lacks the skating skills. He has a very good shot, though, and when he accepts a random golf challenge, he finds out he has a lot of talent for the sport.
When his beloved grandmother is kicked out of her house, because she didn't pay taxes for ten years, and needs 275000 dollars before a certain deadline, Happy decides to earn the money by playing golf tournaments. In the world of golf he meets a hot reporter, a black former golf player who lost his hand to an alligator and the big golf champion, named Shooter McGavin (well played by Christopher McDonald), who is a bit of a cock...
If you're in the mood for something stupid or if you're a fan of Adam Sandler or maybe Ben Stiller (he has a small, but funny role), this is the movie for you! Otherwise, not so much. It is still enjoyable enough to not be complete ****, in my opinion.
My rating:
