Trailer
Happy Gilmore
1995
Adam Sandler stars as a failed hockey player who discovers that his slap shot translates into one heckuva golf swing. Desperate to earn money to save his grandmother's house, he takes his powerhouse swing (and his hockey mouth and brawling attitude) onto the PGA tour. Full of goofy humor (including the now-famous Bob Barker fight sequence) and side-splitting mockery.
He doesn't play golf... he destroys it.
