Comical but ultimately shallow and brainless entertainment. To be honest its an affront to the sport of golf. Its just like a sweet. Tasty on the outside but lacks lack substance underneath. Still this is Sandlers best movie. Not that that says much. Hardly worth watching.

My favorite movie of all time. Critics just love to hate and do not know comedy. Period. I'd love to see one of these critics write a script that could even hold a candle to a movie like Happy Gilmore. If a crtic tried to write a comedy they'd just get washed up in their own personal griefs. Lighten up, seriously. Get back to getting off on a "riveting" film. Man, I hate critics.

One of the many films where 'real' critics are off their freakin gourd! Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore is simply hilarious... he just doesn't stop for a second. I will still drop everything to watch this when it comes on TV! It's GREAT!

This is Adam Sandler's best movie of all time. I have no idea why the critics are such hardasses when it comes to good Adam Sandler movies. Happy Gilmore is an awesome golf comedy and has almost non-stop hilarity.

Critics are on drugs. This is Sandler at the top of his art!
