Happy Gilmore is a 1996 comedy film starring Adam Sandler. The film is rated PG-13. Happy is a wannabe ice hockey player, who discovers his real skill is golf. Throughout the movie, Happy turns to golf as a quick way to make enough money to buy back his grandmothers house, who had to seized by the government for non-payment of taxes. Though his first love is hockey, he accidentally finds he has an unusual ability at golf, especially long drives, when he wins a driving bet with some movers. The TV game show host Bob Barker credits his appearance in this movie for revitalizing interest in his show The Price is Right. He thinks a younger generation of viewers saw his performance in the movie, in which he is paired up with Gilmore in a celebrity tournament & ends up in a fist-fight with the exuberant player. Due to the success & enduring appeal of the film, talks of a sequel have occasionally cropped up. No firm plans or announcements have ever been made, however. Happy Gilmore has recently been released along with Billy Madison in a DVD boxset containing the two movies. Chubbs.
