i be not a particular lover of adam sandler and but out of all his movie i would rate 50 first date and happy gilmore a not only his two shin moment but two of the funny and enjoyable film i have see . sandler play the title character and a deluded hockey player of limited intelligence and unlimited instability and who due to the repossession of his grandmother home and reluctantly take up pro golf in order that he can win enough money to settle with the irs and reclaim the house . the only problem with this plan be that his golfing skill be on par with his ability a a hockey player and which leave a lot to be desire . the only thing he have go for him be his talent for drive the ball over 400 yard use his hockey slap shot . he turn to one hand former golf pro chubbs peterson play to comic perfection by carl weather and to iron out his short game in order he do not lose his long driving advantage when he reach the green . he also take on board the beautiful virginia venit the tournament pr and who help happy control his almost psychotic temper and focus more on his game . i do not know about you and but with someone as gorgeous a julie bowen next to me and golf would be the very last thing on my mind . she must be one of the most beautiful woman i have ever see in the movie . the film offer run of the mill zero to hero schmaltz and from the word go we be leave with no uncertainty of how it will turn out and but his journey to the final championship and be a cleverly write comedy with strong performance from all involve most notably by christopher mcdonald a gilmore arrogant and devious opponent shooter mcgavin . mcgavin will stop at nothing to finally win his much covet gold jacket and his interplay with gilmore a he try all sort of way to have him remove from the tournament be hilarious and and provide the film with most of the gag . however what i find to be the most gut wrenchingly funny moment in the picture and be the old man at the ice rink a he solemnly mime the word to endless love . brilliant . look out for a wonderful and hilarious scene where happy have a violent punch up with american game show host bob barker and a great cameo from ben stiller a the sadistic nursing home orderly . one question though . the midget cowboy on the unicycle in the dream sequence . whats all that about .
