"Golf requires goofy pants and a fat ass. You should talk to my neighbor the accountant, probably a great golfer, huge ass." - Happy

Why watch this? A very hilarious comedy about a hockey knucklehead taking up golf.

Plot Summary: Happy Gilmore, a failed hockey player, discovers he has an incredibly powerful golf swing. To prevent his grandmother from losing her home to the IRS, he enters a professional golf tournament. His unconventional style and hot temper clash with the reserved world of golf, but he quickly becomes a media sensation.

Dad's Preview: It took me a while to warm up to Adam Sandler, because I just didn't think he was that funny. This film finally sold me on him. This romp is one funny scene after another. It's a comedy, an underdog story and, heck, it is even a darn good sports movie! Carl Weathers is excellent as Happy's one-armed coach. The movie's surprise cameo is legendary game show host Bob Barker!
