	Happy Gilmore takes the beach from Beachley - Sport - smh.com.au
		Gilmore isn't officially on the women's tour but the feisty natural-footer has already snared two events on the circuit and is shaking up her elder competitors.
		Beachley joked she wished she hadn't invited Gilmore to her event but was happy the teenager had taken the $27,000 first prize in the richest event in women's surfing.
		And Gilmore and her fellow surfers were impressed by the number of "grommets" on the beach.

		Happy Gilmore is a 1996 film about a rejected hockey player who puts his skills to the golf course to save his grandmother's house.
		Happy Gilmore: During high school, I played junior hockey and still hold two league records: most time spent in the penalty box; and I was the only guy to ever take off his skate and try to stab somebody.
		Happy Gilmore: I didn't break it, I was merely testing its durability, and I placed it in the woods cause it's made of wood and I thought he should be with his family.

	Billy Madison/Happy Gilmore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Of the two, Happy Gilmore seems to be a more coherent example of Adam Sandler's comedy than "Billy Madison, which kind of wanders all over the place plot-wise and joke-wise.
		In Happy Gilmore, Sandler plays up his funny every-man persona to the hilt as a (really bad) hockey player who joins a pro golfing tour due to his massive ability to drive a golf ball.
		When compared to Happy Gilmore, they are two starkly different movies in terms of quality, plot, and the abilty to sustain any type of comic headway.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Happy Gilmore
		Happy is not a person with a short fuse.
		His mom abandoned the family and Egypt, leaving the orphaned Happy in the care of a grandmother who didn't pay taxes on her house for ten years so the IRS repossessed it and put her into a nursing home where she does slave labor under the eye of a male nurse.
		Happy Gilmore is painful to watch for anyone outside of the teen years.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of Happy Gilmore
		Happy Gilmore -- the name is a joke -- dreamed of being a hockey player his entire life, and has adopted what he sees as the hockey player approach to life: he gets very mad very quickly, and is inclined to smash things, including people, when he's angry.
		Happy does not, and cannot, succeed on the golf links until he finally lets go of the idea that he's really a hockey player, with a hockey player attitude.
		It's Happy, giving into his rage, but all his profanities are bleeped; this goes on and on in the background until the bleeping becomes funny in and of itself.

	HD DVD Review: Happy Gilmore \| High Def Digest
		'Happy Gilmore' is, like 'Caddyshack,' one of those movies that is all about the craziness of its characters, not the humor inherent in its situation.
		'Happy Gilmore' was only his second starring big-screen vehicle (after the 1995 sleeper 'Billy Madison') and he seems to be going for broke.
		In the end, 'Happy Gilmore' looks perfectly nice, but hardly seems like the kind of film made to show off the capabilities of the HD DVD format.

	Happy Gilmore
		Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) is a bad tempered, failed hockey player who's lifelong ambition is to become a professional.
		From the moment that Happy hits a 500 yard shot with his hockey style golf swing you know that you are in for a real treat.
		For me the sequence in which the pro circuit director is watching a video of Happy is one of the funniest moments committed to film.

	'Happy Gilmore' (PG-13)
		"Happy Gilmore" is the most enjoyable film yet by a recent alumnus of "Saturday Night Live," thanks to a genial and surprisingly self-contained performance by Adam Sandler.
		Seems Happy's wicked slap shots translate into 400-yard tee shots, and while he's a little rough around the edges—and a little edgy around the roughs—he somehow manages to win a qualifying tournament for the pro tour.
		Happy, for whom everything is a contact sport, fits into this scenario like a basketball fits into a cup.

	Happy Gilmore
		Whenever Happy flubs a shot, he flies into a rage, stamps on the ground, tosses his club in the air and spews out a torrent of profanity.
		But if ``Happy Gilmore'' contains the germ of what might have been a pungent comic satire of class warfare and sports, it is far too eager to be the ``Dumb and Dumber'' of the links to take its ice-hockey-versus-golf metaphor to the next step.
		Happy's tantrums, which the movie pretends are liberating explosions of self-expression, aren't nearly maniacal enough to reach comic delirium.

		Revealing: When Happy tosses the IRS agent out of Grandma Gilmore's window, he falls down the steps outside and it is blatantly obvious that he is wearing kneepads under his suit pants.
		Continuity: When Virginia and Happy are dancing on the skating rink, when the camera is zoomed in on them, Virginia is holding the hockey stick.

	DVD Times - Happy Gilmore
		Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) grew up believing that he would be a hockey player, but his foul-mouthed temper and bad discipline always ensured he was the last to be picked for his local team.
		Happy is a serious individual on a serious quest; the comic situations arise out of the stupidity of the situations he finds himself in.
		Happy Gilmore is a perfect night's no-brainer comedy entertainment, and is vying with There's Something About Mary for title of the best mainstream farcical comedy of the nineties.

		In “Happy Gilmore” he helps the white ball find its home and he finds a groove that would bring him a long successful career that continues ten years later.
		I initially passed on “Happy Gilmore” on DVD because it was a pan and scan release only.
		Regardless, the hi-def transfer of “Happy Gilmore” looks very good and the pristine source materials exhibit perfectly saturated colors, which are bright and beautiful.

		Adam Sandler plays more of a grown-up in Happy Gilmore than he did in Billy Madison, but only in the sense that his tantrums are laced with rage and obscenity rather than infantile brattiness.
		That Happy putts with his hockey stick and launches his golf balls like whizzing cruise missiles (cleverly shot from their accelerating perspective) makes for effective crossover, blending the subtle precision of golf with the electrifying force of hockey, and winning converts to both sports.
		Basically, Gilmore is a mostly talentless hockey player who discovers that he has a powerful tee shot that he can use to pay back the huge IRS debt his grandmother has incurred.

		On the same day Happy finds out that his grandmother (Frances Bay) is being evicted from her home for not paying taxes, he also discovers by chance that his wildly inaccurate hockey shooting style can be converted into an incredibly powerful golf swing.
		Unfortunately, before Happy embarks on his pro tour, he is forced to place his homeless grandmother in a nightmarish nursing facility.
		HAPPY GILMORE is inspired as much by the tradition of the goofy sports comedy--from SAFETY LAST (1923) to MAJOR LEAGUE (1989)--as by the recent phenomenon of young upstarts like Tiger Woods entering the sport of the elite.

		GILMORE has points of hilarity that rival that other golf film classic, CADDYSHACK, but not enough to make it a good.

	USA Network \| Happy Gilmore
		Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler, who also co-wrote the script) is a frustrated hockey player who has never been able to realize his dreams of NHL stardom.
		For one, despite his name, Happy is not a very happy person, with a bad temper that frequently leads to wild tantrums out on the golf course (including a fist fight with "The Price is Right" host Bob Barker).
		And while Happy may have one of the longest drives in PGA history, his putting game is atrocious.

		Relying on his goofy, sweet, coy charisma, Sandler's second film persona, after "Billy Madison," is "Happy Gilmore." It's another piece he's co-written with Tim Herlihy, who also helped pen "Madison." Wisely the two take on a subject rife with comic possibilities, professional golf.
		Later, when Happy hits a golf ball on a bet and it soars over 400 yards, he seems to have found his true calling.
		Of course, the aggressive Gilmore has little interested in the links, he still wants to be a hockey player.

	The Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison Collection DVD Review - MovieWeb
		Happy Gilmore is the story of a wannabe hockey player with a super-sonic swing and the inability to ice skate.
		Despite my initial distaste for Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore is a film that had me rolling in the aisles upon first seeing it and has had me coming back for more since then.
		Happy Gilmore is a crude, aggressive comedy that showcases more of Adam Sandlerâs adolescent hi jinks, and that is precisely why it is so damned funny.

	Happy Gilmore
		Okay, Happy Gilmore is not the sort of movie that is going to earn a lot of awards of any nature, but if you watch films for entertainment (and if you don't, then why watch them?), this is an entertaining slant on a frankly quite dull sport.
		Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) is a hockey (sorry, ice hockey) nut and longs to play professionally.
		Well, sometimes being late works in your favour: Happy Gilmore was an early release in Region 1 and things have improved a lot since then.
