    Perfect!

    by D_Archuleta_luver21

    I was laughing so hard watching this movie my mom actually asked what was wrong with me. I loved it, it was amazing and funny! I also love Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller! It's a must-see!

  • Must Go!

    ONE OF THE BEST SANDLER MOVIES!

    by movielover3000

    I loved Happy Gilmore. It is about a guy (Adam Sandler), who plays a golf tournament to get money for his grandmas home and while he does that he amazes everyone with how good he does. But the reason this movie is so funny is becuase when the golf ball doesnt go in he throw a temper tantrum and swears his head off. Happy Gilmore is hilarious!

    THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST MOVIE IV'E EVER SEEN!

    by hockeystar621

    I was sick one day and it was on and I put it on and a couple seconds after I put it on, I cracked up! I turned it on at the part where the guy bets him he can't hit the guy at the house. My favorite part is when he curses at the ball!
