Happy Gilmore Ratings & Reviews
- Eric Bakke15 januari 2025Hilarious from start to finish.
- thomasrogers75313 juli 2025I can’t wait for Happy Gilmore 2
- Jordan Jones29 maart 2026Happy Gilmore - still is to this day and will highly likely always will be Adam Sandlers best ever film!! And he had a great run there in the 90's but could never recapture the magic, that made his films in the 90's so rewatchable & enjoyable. Happy Gilmore has to be one of the most quotable movies, not just in the Comedy genre but movies in general of all time, the Comedy all lands perfectly, all of the main and side Characters are all memorable. The comedic timing is all on point, this was a lighting in a bottle film that had all of the ingredients required into delivering a Classic and unforgettable Comedy. Finally I can't put into words how much I miss this era of Comedies.
- jake.r8529 november 2025An absolute classic! I've never met anyone who doesn't like Happy Gilmore
- Jonathan R17 oktober 2025Can’t go wrong. Classic Adam Sandler comedy!!
- Phineas7 augustus 2025R.I.P my boy Chubbs
- Austin Burke29 juli 2025A cinematic classic. An all-time comedy. It may be the defining comedic venture of the 90’s, and this was Adam Sandler at his best. Just tap it in.
- Ddoughnut30 mei 2025Okay, my dad loves this movie so when I watched it with him, he was quoting like every single line
- Manuel Frangis20 maart 2025I just watched Happy Gilmore again and it is an easy 5 out of 5 stars. This is one of the best and funniest Adam Sandler movies ever made. It is packed with ridiculous comedy unforgettable one liners and a main character that is completely out of control in the best way possible. I am so excited for the second one coming out because this movie never gets old and I cannot wait to see what they do next. The story follows Happy Gilmore a failed hockey player with an insane temper who discovers he has a hidden talent for golf. That setup alone is hilarious but what makes it even better is how Happy completely refuses to fit into the world of professional golf. Instead of being calm and focused like the other golfers he treats every game like a hockey fight and the results are some of the funniest moments in any sports comedy. Adam Sandler is perfect as Happy. He plays the character with so much energy and insanity that you cannot help but love him. His outbursts his trash talk and his completely unhinged way of playing golf make every scene fun to watch. He is not trying to be polite or follow the rules he is just trying to win in the most ridiculous way possible. The supporting cast is just as great. Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin is one of the best comedy villains ever. He is arrogant petty and constantly trying to sabotage Happy but he is also absolutely hilarious. Every time he is on screen he delivers another great line or reaction that makes him even more entertaining. Carl Weathers as Chubbs the golf coach is also amazing bringing in some of the best moments and making his scenes with Happy some of the funniest in the movie. The humor in Happy Gilmore is completely over the top in the best way possible. There are fights with old men insane golf swings all out brawls on the green and some of the most random but hilarious moments ever put in a sports movie. Every scene is packed with jokes and almost all of them land perfectly. It is the kind of comedy that never takes itself seriously and just keeps getting crazier as it goes on. Even though this is a comedy the sports aspect of the movie is actually really fun to watch. The way Happy plays golf is so unpredictable that you never know what is going to happen next. The golf tournament scenes are surprisingly exciting even when they are completely ridiculous. The pacing is perfect. There is never a slow moment and every scene either has a great joke a crazy action moment or a hilarious interaction between characters. The movie does not waste any time getting to the good stuff and it keeps the energy high from start to finish. The soundtrack also adds a lot to the movie. The rock music mixed with the golf setting makes for a funny contrast that fits Happy’s personality perfectly. It is just another reason why this movie stands out from other comedies. Even after all these years Happy Gilmore is still one of the best and most rewatchable Adam Sandler movies. It is funny from start to finish filled with unforgettable moments and has one of the best comedy villains of all time. Whether you are watching it for the first time or the hundredth time it never stops being hilarious. With the announcement of a sequel I could not be more excited. I cannot wait to see what Adam Sandler does with Happy this time and if we will get another showdown with Shooter McGavin. If they bring back the same energy and humor as the first movie it is going to be amazing. I absolutely love this movie and I will never get tired of watching it.
- Dan The Man Kearney12 oktober 2025CLASSIC
- Erick Garcia11 augustus 2025Very funny
- Amir Animashaun8 augustus 2025This movie actually made golf look fun and i definitely want to try the sport out. Yeah it’s cheesy but it works and the humour is very funny and not try hard. Happy is a very violent person but gets his comeuppance from that old guy lol. I don’t really agree with what they did with Carl Weathers’ character and Christopher McDonald as Shooter is the worst guy ever bro would do anything to win at golf even if it means harming others. But other than that decent movie.
- MikeyGee-1021 augustus 2025Fun watch. This movie went by so quick
- Alexandre Grégoire23 augustus 2025Old but still enjoyable
- tellum17 augustus 2025My personal favorite of the “irreverent” Adam Sandler comedies.
