Movie Reviews:

• John Chard: Mr. Angry channels aggression nicely…
• True Story. All my friends are golfers, however, it’s not a sport for me. I played with them once after they continued to badger me about it, at a par 4 hole I used a putter instead of a driver to get onto the green, literally just whacked it straight and hard, I holed in 3, much to my friend’s consternation!!
• The purpose of that story is why I enjoyed Happy Gilmore so much, it takes fun pot shots at the sport whilst daftly proclaiming that any dude can play in his own style. This is an absolutely no brain movie of course, with a plot as daft as it sounds – a failed/angry ice-hockey player takes up golf to earn money to save his granny’s house from being repossessed – and of course he becomes a cause célèbre to the golfing curates.
• Sandler has and always will be an acquired comedy taste, making this very much one for his fans only. And truth be told this is basic Sandler where he’s shouty and sweary, and he certainly improved on a filmic level from this point on. So what you gonna do? I laughed a lot, but you see I’m a Sandler fan (though there are some films of his I positively hate), it cheered me up and sometimes that’s all I want from one of his movies. 7/10
• Andre Gonzales: Adam Sandler makes so many good movies. Who doesn’t love this movie. If you don’t like this, then there’s something wrong with you. The price is wrong bitch!
