Happy Gilmore

CriticsCritics: 49
AudienceAudience: 7.2

A failed hockey player discovers he can hit a golf ball with extraordinary power and enters the professional golf tour to raise money for his grandmother’s home. His aggressive personality and unconventional style make him a crowd favorite while putting him at odds with an arrogant rival.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like loud, silly sports comedies with an underdog heart, especially similar titles such as The Waterboy or Billy Madison; Not for you if you prefer subtle humor or realistic sports stories.
