Critic Reviews

[A] one-joke Caddyshack for the blitzed and jaded.

-Owen GleibermanFull Review

There are about three minutes of funny material in Happy Gilmore, and pretty much all of them are in the trailer.

-Brian LowryFull Review

It may smell awful from a distance, especially if you have low tolerance for lowbrow humor, but up close this yarn about an unlikely golf star is fairly painless.

-Edward GuthmannFull Review

You don't feel that Sandler and director Dennis Dugan are trying for the kind of subversiveness that might just make Happy's brutal anarchy more effective.

-Kevin ThomasFull Review

Happy's tantrums, which the movie pretends are liberating explosions of self-expression, aren't nearly maniacal enough to reach comic delirium.

-Stephen HoldenFull Review

Sandler plays this a lot smarter than, say, a Jim Carrey character, and with less slapstick. Still, this is not delicate, subtle stuff: It's smart low-brow, and only for those who like their humor a bit offbeat.

-Louis B. Parks

The story has all the thickness of a well-trimmed green, but it's a decent excuse for some heady sight gags.

-Mike Clark

The Happy Gilmore character is strange. I guess we are supposed to like him.

-Roger EbertFull Review

Happy Gilmore may not be an ace in the hole, but it beats par by a long shot.

-Richard HarringtonFull Review

Sandler's movie is worth a few laughs, but not many of the comic sequences are original, and even fewer are inspired.
