5 comments about Happy Gilmore [HD DVD].

1. Happy Gilmore is a hilarious movie about a hockey player that turns into a great golfer. This is worth watching over and over again.



2. Happy Gilmore is my favorite Adam Sandler movie and I was so excited to finally have it. But it skips the entire part of the movie with Bob Barker and the final match between Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin. That really upset me. It will freeze at certain parts in the movie too. And I didnt scratch it or anything, I took it out of its case and put it in my dvd player, and it just skips that part and freezes. That really made me mad.



3. HAPPY GILMORE is a surprisingly funny and likable film. It doesn't take itself seriously and neither should the viewer as it is just plain fun whether you are a golf fan or not. Adam Sandler plays a failed hockey player with lots of problems. His girlfriend has just left him because she doesn't want to be with a "loser" and his grandmother is forced to make quilts in an abusive nursing home because her own house is being repossessed due to unpaid taxes. Fortuitously Happy discovers he has an amazing golf drive and with a little coaching from a one handed golf pro played by Carl Withers is able to join the pro tour with hopes of earning enough money to get Grandma's house back. Hilarity ensues as blue collar Happy who has anger management problems and his fans are classic fish out of water in the genteel golf world. Happy has an amusing nemesis, Shooter, who tries to block his new found golf success at every turn. All ends happily and Mr. Gilmore even ends up with a cute new girlfriend. This movie is rated PG-13 which is appropriate as this is actually a pretty mild but funny movie for the Jr. High crowd and older to enjoy.



4. Funny, Funny
   This movie is very funny. A classic Sandler film you will enjoy over and over.



5. Happy Gilmore is a rowdy boy, who was raised by his grandmother. He wants to be a hockey player but isn't because of one thing, he can't skate. When his grandmother's house is foreclosed cause of her failure to pay her taxes, and she's placed in a retirement home, Happy must try and find a way to make some money. One day while at a driving range, he discovers that he can hit a golf ball a hundred feet, so the range pro, convinces him to try being a pro golfer. Reluctant at first, because he considers himself a hockey player, but when he learns he can make a lot of money, he gives it a try and surprisingly, in addition to his amazing driving ability, his antics have made him the darling of the crowd. Shooter McGavin the tournament leader, thinks that Happy's an embarrassment and is jealous that he is stealing his spotlight, tries to get him thrown out or get him to quit. "Happy Gilmore" is the Adam Sandler movie to see. This whole movie is one hilarious moment after another.

1. Overall satisfied, but there are no chapter divisions in the individual shows. They are also on one disc that comes in a paper cd envelope just inserts inside the disk box. The video quality is good, and I would still purchase it.

1. I never got to watch the dvd. When I received the dvd it was scratched and I was unable to watch the movie.



2. What can I say, Keven Costner a likeable guy who is a failure falls for some Shrink and gives up his bad habits. Golf story but still a funny love story.



3. I wasn't to thrilled with this movie I'm a Christian and all the cussing and sexual inuendo ruined it for me.



4. The subtitle of this movie says it all. Roy is adept and relaxed at golf, but love he's the opposite. The turnaround in both occur (well somewhat the love more than golf, for the risk taker in him persists) with a local psychologist taking lessons in golf, while she gives him lessons in love and mental skills.
   
   The acting by lead characters is good, esp. Cheech. There is too much f** words and other language in this for this reviewer, and I know before it's said it's only my opinion and it is.
   
   The soundtrack is superb, which I bought and play often since watching this on big screen first. Interesting plot and well done cinematography.
   
   Not my favorite golf flick, but not in bottom third either. Somewhere in middle.



5. Kevin Costner's second best movie, after No Way Out. To steal from Bill Murray, this is the "Cinderella story out of nowhere" movie. A smart *ass, self-destructive driving range pro who makes it to the show, only to blow up. Cheech of all people is his caddie. Funny movie.

1. what can i say, it is a great movie, funny, quirky, and a great laugh fest!



2. Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray do some of there best comidic work in this wacky film. The main plot is a little weak but that hardly matters when you have Bill Murray as a deranged groundskeeper trying to exterminate a Golpher, Chevy Chase as a strangely Zen golf pro and Rodney Dangerfield as a crass flamboyant nouveau riche real estate tycoon.



3. Man, I gotta learn to stop trusting the Internet.
   
   I watched this because I recently saw it listed as #2 on Bravo's list of funniest movies of all time.
   
   I had known about Caddyshack for decades, but for some reason never saw a bit of it. But after reading about its ranking, I determined to watch it. Even without that ranking, it's famous enough on its own terms. Plus I love Ramis and Murray!
   
   But what was all the excitement about? I didn't get a single laugh out of this. The entire thing was moronic.
   
   I've got no problem with teen flicks and even potty humor, but this movie had no real plot or message, just a series of anecdotes connected by nothing more than that they all took place at a golf resort.
   
   I wish I could travel back in time to 1980, when this was released. I'd go see it in some theater, sit in the very front row, and then turn around at glare at all the morons who found this funny.
   
   Definitely humor from a more innocent age. Doesn't hold up well.



4. Hilarious, one of the greatest comedies ever made, Rodney Dangerfield is the greatest, you will love this movie everytime you see it, never gets old, these were the days when comedy was at some of it's truest from, now it is all bathroom humor and too raunchy, it just goes too far nowadays. If you buy this movie, you will love and always get enjoyment out it, truly a classic.



5. A true classic. I can view this 100 times and still laugh. I would like to add that UStrade did a fine job in shipping a replacement DVD when I had a problem with the first one.

5 comments about Keeping Mum.

1. This is a comedy, but it is a dark one. I ordered it after seeing it on TV. Maggie Smith and Rowan Atkinson are hilarious. It sort of reminded me of "Arsenic and Old Lace." It's funny, but with an edge. All the characters are interesting and likable. Highly recommended.



2. Walter Goodfellow (Rowan Atkinson), the vicar of a small village in England is too preoccupied and befuddled with his job to pay any attention to his wife (Kristin Scott Thomas), so she has an affair with her golf teacher (Patrick Swayze) while his kids are lost and in trouble. Then a new housekeeper (Maggie Smith) enters their lives and all their problems seem to disappear.
   
   I didn't know what to expect from this movie and was puzzled in the beginning but ended up liking it. It's a dark comedy that's exceedingly dry and subtle, more sinister than comedic, and very British in tone. The cast, led by the marvelous Maggie Smith, is superb and they hold your interest even when the story is at times odd and confusing. The location photography is gorgeous. This is definitely not a laugh-out-loud comedy, but is ultimately sweet and clever. 3.5 stars.



3. If murder can be considered funny, this is the movie that will show that. "Keeping Mum" is the humerous story of a Vicar and his family whose lives are not quite what they should be. A murderess enters their household and begins to set thing right in her own way.
   The film features outstanding performances by an A+ cast along with a tongue-in-cheek, surprise ending. This DVD would make a fine addition for a mystery-lover's film collection.
   Great watching on a cloudy day while curled up with a big bowl of buttery pop corn! Dont miss it!



4. If you've seen "Death at a Funeral" you'll love this one too. A maid comes to live with a Pastor and his family...things start disappearing...dogs...people... :) Very funny!



5. For anyone just now running across this title, it is a gem! Maggie Smith is the most lovable murderess, Kristen Scott Thomas is wonderful, Rowan Atkinson is adorable, and Patrick Swayze's part is so unexpected and hilarious. Prepare to watch it over and over to catch all the twists and turns, but it's a joy to watch each and every time!

5 comments about The Legend of Bagger Vance.

1. Of course, (no pun intended) I am not into golf. But this movie is not really about golf. It is about how playing golf is like the way we "play out" life. Loved it. Some great sound bites to take along with you as you work at this consciousness we call "life".



2. I got the product in about three weeks. It was just as described. If I could have gotten it quicker, I would have rated "Excellent". I'm a little impatient :)-



3. Excellent movie. Very moving and tells a great story, which happens to be ture. My husband and son play golf, and they really like this movie. They watch it constantly. I, not being a golfer loved this movie too. I would suggest this movie to all.



4. My husband and I are not golfers; nor do we watch the sport. We happne upon this movie when channel hopping and it immediately peaked our interest. We both absolutely loved this movie, so much so, that I had to add it to our collection to watch again at my leisure. It is filled with symoblism and parallelisms and can bring different messages to diffeent individuals. My hubby loves the old westerns and Clint Eastwood movies but he even recommended this movie to some of our friends. He also enjoys certain historically based movies. I think, because he had heard of the two golf pros, he liked the story line in the movie that was able to keep his interest. I enjoy movies with some historical insertion, (i.e. Titanic and crime novel types). I was intrigued by the spiritualism. The little boy n the film stole the show, not to mention the artisty of the lead actors. To top it off, I understand that this was the great Jack Lemon's last film. For the entertainment value and the price of the DVD, it was well worth the cost. After watching the movie, I was moved to do more research on its professional critiques and was surprised (but in a sense could understand) some being offended by Will Smith's role; however, I was looking beyond the person, an into his portrayal of that spirit. I would rate this 5 stars if I could.



5. I'm pleased that I received my DVD purchase within just a few days. The shipment was to take two days; however, because of the snowstorm over the Valentine's Day weekend, the DVD arrived 3 days later than promised. But I am still a satisfied customer, because I was able to track the delivery and could see that everything possible was being done to get the package to me.
   PS: Amazon.com was the only place I could find this particular DVD and the price was right!

5 comments about The Greatest Game Ever Played.

1. This is the most outstanding golf movie bar none. The acting was supberb. This movie should go down as a classic!



2. This is an absolutely wonderful movie! The story is true. The videography outstanding. The acting superb! If you haven't seen it, buy it. If you have seen it, buy it.



3. This is a must see show of how you go from 0 to 60 on a golf course!A young man makes his way during the depression to an honored and adored person in The Greatest Game Ever Played or to come from anywhere..
   
   I really enjoyed Eddie as his caddie and Eddie grows to become a millionaire..Just goes to show what you can do if you set your mind to do so...
   
   Francis becomes a man for passion for the game and an Ambassador to the loved game world wide..



4. Every resident of North America who has taken up the game of golf as a hobby owes a debt of gratitude to Franis Ouimet, the former caddy from Brookline, Massachusetts. Ouimet's astounding victory at the 1913 US Open over two highly rated golf champions from the United Kingdom, Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, served to popularize the game of golf in the USA and introduce the sport to the masses. Prior to Ouimet's storybook victory, golf was the exclusive province of the wealthy and the privileged. After Ouimet's startlingly improbable tournament victory in 1913, players like Walter Hagen and Chick Evans made the game acceptable to the commoners.
   
   The dramatization is remarkably accurate by Hollywood standards. The movie contains an occasional anachronism and the screenplay takes a few liberties with the plot (for example, inventing a romantic interest for Ouimet and making the tournament victory come down to the final putt on the 18th green when in reality Vardon fell behind on the 17th hole of the playoff round), but overall the story is wholly satisfactory. The dvd version of the film contains numerous valuable extras, which include an actual television interview with Ouimet recounting his victory fifty years after the fact.
   
   Unlike the current generation of pro golfers, the players of this bygone era had to endure numerous hardships that made the game as much a test of stamina as of skill (in earlier tournaments, players were expected to complete two rounds per day in all types of weather and bogey golf was considered to be good scoring). "The Greatest Game Ever Played" is a fascinating recreation of a bygone era.



5. Based on a true story. This is a really good movie, I watched it with a friend and really enjoyed it. It is a Disney movie so it has some effects for kids I would say. Cool!
   Service was great too! ordered and arrived in a couple days, no delays, WONDERFUL.
   I would recomend this movie for some nice family time together. Moral of the story, Focus, whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. You have been given a talent, and you love it, use it for good! :)

5 comments about Phil Mickelson: Secrets of the Short Game.

1. This is one of the most articulate videos on this subject. It gives one tactics that if applied and practiced consistently can only but improve one's short game. The book of the same title is a good companion.



2. This is a very professional production. Phil breaks down the short game in a lucid way, which is easy to remember during practice sessions. It covers putting, chipping, lob shots, bunker shots, and flop shots.
   
   
   One information I find missing from most instructional videos and books, unfortunately, is missing in this one as well. No discussion on wet bunkers at all.
   
   At any rate, thanks to Phil and his production team for this fantastic product.



3. Great DVD! Phil has a lot of nuggets of information in a practical and simple approach to the short game. I thought the whole DVD was great and very insightful.



4. If you are a keen golfer and want to improve your short game, you will get enormous help from the Phil Mickelson short game CDs. He explains his ideas clearly and his physical demonstrations are enormously helpful. Good, whether you are a leftie or rightie. Even my pro wants to borrow it!



5. 
   Well produced instructional. Phil offers some excellent training drills.
   Footage of his amazing touch around the greens inspires you to get out there
   and practice, practice, practice.
