Adam Sandler gets a lot of flack for being the same character in every film that he is in. Have you ever considered that this is the precise reason why his movies have made more than $1 Billion though?

Like many people my age, i first encountered Sandler when he was on Saturday Night Live. He was a standout character on that show that was so funny that he, and his compatriots in the scenes, had a really difficult time keeping a straight face because he was so absurd. That is a great way to describe Happy Gilmore: Absurd.

Is the plot of this movie even necessary to explain to anyone? Is there really anyone out there that hasn't seen this gem of cinematography?

This film follows Happy Gilmore (played by Sandler) a hockey player (who is terrible at hockey) that has an unbelievably powerful strike that accidentally makes him an incredible golfer. Because of his low-class demeanor, he isn't exactly welcomed into the golfing community and there are certain people who really really don't want him there at all. Such as shooter McGavin - who is more of a "traditional" golfer.

The film almost certainly was made because Sandler knows a lot of people in the film world, even back when this was made, because the acting is pretty awful in the movie. It is not fluid at all but it gets the job done and it simply works. For those of you out there that hate Adam's repetitiveness in the movies that he and his production company routinely make 10-100 million dollars off of - well here is kind of where it began (after Billy Madison, although i feel as though this film solidified Sandler as a Hollywood powerhouse.)

This movies is full of one-liners that will remain in my vocab for the rest of my life. I honestly don't care if they are understood by anyone but if they are, we are friends immediately. I like it a lot and although virtually all elements of the production are done poorly and many of the "mistakes" were simply left in the final cut because... well.... who cares...., Sandler's character is able to carry the film into the great beyond. This movie will be with me forever.
