I thought it was a class old film, I liked it. Adam Sandler nails the aggressive idiot really well, and Adam Sandler is always a great actor to root for. I liked the grandmas role in the film, it felt like a good motive for Happy and I liked the premise that he got into Golf because he needed the money. This film was pretty funny, there were some out of date jokes or jokes that I didn’t get, but overall lots of funny jokes and gags. Ben Stiller was funny as the Retirement Home guard, and Shooter McGavin was a very funny and interesting villain. Obviously he felt unnecessarily evil to Happy, but he was charming and I liked seeing him fail. The finale was cool, it didn’t really make sense since if a giant tv tower fell on the green I feel like they would stop the game, but even though it didn’t make sense it still was a satisfying finale. 8/10
