Happy Gilmore: we want more!

Yesterday I gave you a small teaser about Happy Gimore, with Adam Sandler at the beginning of his career, before he plays in Big Daddy, the more romantic Punch-Drunk Love, the brillian Mr. Deeds and Anger Management with Jack Nicholson. He's also a well-known comedian in the US, being a Saturday Night Live cast member.

Since I don't have much time to write (because one of our professors thought we had nothing to do, so we were given a "delightful" project on linguistic landscapes), here's the Wikipedia plot summary that I enhance with scenes kindly posted on YouTube by benevolent people:

Happy (Adam Sandler) is an aspiring ice hockey player who masters a powerful slapshot that his father taught him as a child. However, his aggression and poor skating ability render it impossible for him to make any hockey team. His grandmother (Frances Bay), with whom he's lived almost all his life due to an unfortunate hockey related incident which killed his father, has not paid taxes on her home for several years. As such, she owes $275,000 to the IRS and the house that Happy's grandfather "built with his bare hands" is about to be repossessed. Due to a series of events that lead Happy to believe in his own ability to use his powerful slapshot in the game of golf, he joins the PGA Tour in order to win enough money to buy back his grandmother's house from the government.

Aspiring PGA Tour winner Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) sees Gilmore as a threat, and tries to thwart any attempt of his to steal his thunder. Although his golf game and his manners on the green aren't rounded- his driving is excellent but he has trouble when it comes to putting-, Happy is guided by one-handed golf coach Chubbs Peterson (Carl Weathers) and the tour PR head (Julie Bowen), who help him in finding his own way to win tournaments with a cooler head. Although his time on the course is jeopardised when he goaded into attacking Bob Barker,

Happy manages to make some extra money by signing an endorsement deal with Subway, thus earning the $275,000 he needs to buy back his grandmother's house. The movie itself is actually promoted at many Subway resturaunts.

Unfortunately, at the auction, he is outbid by Shooter McGavin, who offers Happy the house under the terms that he in exchange quits the tour. Happy is persuaded to continue with his new golf career by the notion that his grandmother would rather see him succeed than have the house. Shooter agrees to give Happy the house if he beats him in the tour championship.

With some help from Chubbs and some lessons at the nearby Crazy Goly course, Happy improves his putting skills, but Chubbs subsequently dies in an accident. Determined to win the game for Chubbs, Happy goes head-to-head with Shooter, and- despite Shooter's attempts at sabotage…

… such as having a deranged fan drive onto the course and topple a TV tower in front of the last hole- wins the championship, becoming a pro golfer and in turn getting his grandmother's house back.

Before she got her house back, Happy's grandmother went to an institution for elderly people run by Ben Stiller:

— Sir, could I trouble you for a glass of warm milk: it helps put me asleep.
— You can trouble me for a glass of—shut the hell up! Now you'll go to sleep, or I will put you into sleep.

I love Ben Stiller's moustache. Not that I'd like to have one, but I find it funny. And by the way, Frances Bay (the grandma) played in a couple of episodes of Seinfeld, being the lady who gets stolen her rye bread.

Later in the film, Stiller uses his authority to oblige his residents to work for him:

— My fingers hurt…
— What's tha'?
— My fingers hurt.
— Well… oooh. Now, your back's gonna hurt, because you've just pulled landscaping duty…
