A fun but dated comedy that still entertains in parts
Happy Gilmore is far from perfect, but it still has enough charm to make it watchable. Adam Sandler's chaotic energy carries the movie, and while not every joke lands, the overall silliness keeps it moving. It's a goofy mix of sports and comedy, with golf as the unlikely backdrop.
The story is simple and predictable, yet there are enough memorable moments and quotable lines to give it some staying power. The slapstick humor can feel dated, and some parts drag, but you can see why it became a cult classic for fans of Sandler's style.
It's not a masterpiece of comedy, and it certainly won't appeal to everyone, but as a lighthearted watch, it does its job. A decent movie to throw on when you're in the mood for something brainless and fun.
