And this was Sandler's; his signature violent temper, enraged screaming and other personal hallmarks are firmly in place in the bare bones of a story about a failed ice hockey player who discovers an unaccountable gift for golf and goes on the pro circuit to save his grandmother's house from evil developers.
A few laughs for the pubescent set, but more a historical item now for anyone interested in the patented moves of Sandler's early career and acting skillset.
