This could have been magnificent, the lead performances were fantastic. The way it was shot was both beautiful and radically annoying.
The ending. What in the name of vulgarity was that about? That really soured the taste of the film for me and I might be being a bit unfair with the rating as a result. As I was glued to the rest of it
Can understand how Sandler splits opinion, especially with his earlier stuff. I think there's a generational element to your take on him. I like him and look back fondly on those comedies as they came out when I was at the age where that sort of humour was just genuinely funny to me. I loved Happy Gilmore, Mr Deeds and The Waterboy and would still watch them again now and find them funny to be honest. For a "straighter" role he's good in Hustle which is also a decent film as it goes

I saw a lot of Sandler's film with my kids and thought the majority of scripts were lazy and uninspired. I don't think he has much in the way of comic talent but I do think he can take on straight roles.

I thought the ending was really good. It was meant to be surreal and Saville's crimes hadn't come to light at the time of the original virus. Saville's image made perfect sense in the context of a cult.
Seems like it, I watched Happy Gilmore 2, and thought what a load of garbage, limited amount of laughs, what was funny in my 20’s seemed pretty childish 30 years later.
Some movies are just best left alone and not worth dragging out sequels years later to capture an old audience, and introduce a new audience.
Hope the new Naked gun movie, coming out doesn’t go the same way, but probably will I suspect.
Happy Gilmore was a rare Adam Sandler film I sort of liked. However I've seen so many terrible Sandler films now he would single handedly stop me going to see a film, by being in it. The nadir for me was Javk and Jill, which I hired from tge bidroclub and was so embarrassingly bad we stopped it after 15 minutes. I can't believe Happy Gilmore 2 will e anything other than dross.
It just so happens that I am in Deauville (in Normandy), today. On the promenade are dozens of film stars' names outside the beach huts. Most are Hollywood greats then you get this one.
A policeman was nearby so I said to him... 'Il y a un problem ici pour la police. Le noms ici! Ou est Catherine Deneuve? Ou est Jean Paul-Belmondo? Ou est Isabelle Huppert? Ou est la Francais? Il est terrible.'
The policeman and the two lifeguards with him just shrugged and laughed.
I have never seen an Adam Sandler film but I think he should have his name tippexed out toute de suite.

Never really understood his popularity.
