Happy Gilmore (1996)

The Happy Gilmore trailer is for the 1996 sports comedy starring Adam Sandler. Happy Gilmore, played by Sandler, is a hot-headed hockey player with a temper and no skating skills. When the IRS is about to take his grandmother's house, Happy discovers that his slap shot lets him drive a golf ball farther than anyone. He joins the pro golf tour to win the money he needs, dragging his hockey attitude onto the polite world of golf. Former pro Chubbs Peterson, played by Carl Weathers, coaches him, while the tour's arrogant star, Shooter McGavin, played by Christopher McDonald, wants him gone. Julie Bowen plays the tour's PR director, and Bob Barker has a famous fistfight with Happy. Dennis Dugan directed. A sequel arrived on Netflix in 2025. It is available on digital and Blu-ray.
