Happy Gilmore
Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Carl Weathers, Bob Barker (no joke). PG-13, Comedy. 1996
Adam Sandler plays a rejected hockey player who finds out his grandma hasn't paid taxes in years and the IRS will
take her house. He has to get money for her house, so he finds out he can hit a golf ball like 500 yards and stuff. He is
constantly tearing up the game. He fights his caddy, curses, and lays the smack down on Bob Barker, his partner. In the end,
he wins a championship with a super putt with his hockey stick putter. This is a classic comedy everybody should see... seriously!!!
Gale Force
Treat Williams, Nikita Ager. Rated R, but isn't that bad. 2002 Action/Drama (Really a comedy at heart)
A bunch of idiots are sent to an island for a new reality game show called Treasure Hunt. While they are there, they
encounter a lot of crap. It turns out, mercenaries are there for the treasure too, and will eliminate any other players. In
the midst of it all, there is a hurricane that hits the island.
The movie is so low budget, it turns into a comedy. Some guy shoots a grenade across a pond onto a huge part of the island.
All of a sudden, the whole side of the island blows up. The players are running in the rain, stop at a building, and are perfectly
dry. A man stands under a tree and gets hit by lightning, yet the tree is fine. The man mysteriously disappears. To save on
budget, it borrows scenes from: Last Action Hero, Predator, and Bat-21. I recommend watching this movie, only if you
want to die laughing at how poorly it was made, which is what makes it so darn funny.
The Legend of Bagger Vance
Will Smith, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron. 2000 Drama
A war veteran golfer, Rannulph Junuh (Damon) has lost his game in the war. When asked to play in a charity event so that
Adele Invergordon (Theron) doesn't have to sell the golf course her father built before he cracked and killed himself in the
Great Depression. He goes out, at night, and starts hitting balls all over the woods. All of a sudden, a mystical caddy named
Bagger Vance (Smith) shows up and promises Junuh a caddy for 5 dollars.
Junuh ends up accepting the challenge, and with the help of Bagger Vance he regains his swing. Being many strokes back,
when he recovers his swing he takes off and starts to lay the smack down on the other golfers. Of course, he ends up winning
the match, etc... this is a very well made movie that has somewhat of an actual story behind it. Since I like comedies, if
it wasn't that good I wouldn't say it was!!!
