Happy Gilmore / USA / 1996
“What? Friends listen to Endless Love in the dark!”
In the UK, Adam Sandler is far from ubiquitous, so it’s easier to get away with being a fan. Punch Drunk Love aside, I think this is my favourite. Too often with Sandler (and a lot of other modern American comedians, from Jack Black to Will Ferrell) you get the feeling if they’d just tried that little bit harder, it could’ve been something truly special. Happy Gilmore is one of the ones that works. It may lack the heart and (relative) intelligence of The Wedding Singer, but it’s just incredibly funny and charming. From Ben Stiller’s Nazi resthome attendant to Christopher McDonald as shit- eating Shooter McGavin, the whole thing’s just an effortless pleasure.
