Happy Gilmore (1996)
Adam Sandler co-writes and stars in this sports comedy about a guy that wants to play professional ice hockey but other than his slap shot is completely useless and has anger management issues. It turns out that Sandler's slap shot is just the thing needed to become a super duper amazing golfer and that he can raise the money needed to save his grandmother's house by playing on the PGA tour.
There are many problems with this film starting with the fact that the plot is completely derivative and formulaic, the characters are not likeable, the jokes are not funny and there is far too much product placement all through out the movie. With comedies you can get away with being weak in terms of plot if there are enough jokes to paper of the cracks but this film literally has nothing going for it, no paper only cracks.
Maybe there are some bit Adam Sandler fans out there that might enjoy this film but it feels generous even giving it 2/5
